If you've been thinking about starting a gratitude journal, Fall is the perfect time to start! As the days start to get shorter and it's cool enough outside for coffee on the front porch, consider investing in a gratitude journal to improve your mental health and your daily life!
Here's why you should resist the temptation to leave all your resolutions for January and start a gratitude journal this Fall:
January is going to be endlessly busy with other resolutions!
Invest in your mental health now so you have a plan for when seasonal depression kicks in!
You will have more down time now during the holidays as opposed to January when work kicks back in.
With crisp Fall breezes, cozy pumpkin drinks, and thick cable-knit sweaters, journaling is the perfect addition to a cozy autumn aesthetic!
Starting a gratitude journal this Fall will help lower stress, improve your quality of sleep, build emotional awareness, and help provide a new perspective on the challenges you face in your daily life!
