Dear Gratitude Seeker We are grateful you have found our "Big Grateful Heart: 52 Week Gratitude Journal" online. And we are thankful to you for reading on... Why Did We Create This Journal for You? After reading about the wonderful benefits of gratitude giving and researching on the same, we started to practice giving gratitude daily. We found to our delight that our overall moods have improved, and we are better able to deal with our daily grind without feeling like we are "dying" from stress. We also feel happier and found it easier to manage difficult situations. We started to look forward to each day with great joy rather than dread facing the things that we don't want to face in life. As great believers in the benefits of gratitude and how it can improve our lives, we have experimented with numerous ways to give more gratitude daily in order to make gratitude giving a part of our daily routine and a habit. As habits take time to form, we needed a sustainable way we could practice gratitude regularly. We wanted to be able to give thanks to everything that's important to us, however big or small, automatically. We wanted a quick method that we can integrate with ease into our daily lives. After sampling many ways of giving gratitude, we found that engaging in regular gratitude journaling is the most sustainable way for us to develop a habit of giving gratitude. Hence, we created our "Big Grateful Heart: 52 Week Gratitude Journal" to help ourselves and others make the process of giving gratitude easier.
