Ah, it’s the season of Thanksgiving. And I’m not just talking about Thanksgiving as in the big meal…
I’m talking about Giving Thanks for all the good things in our lives, A.K.A. Gratitude! And that’s definitely not limited to the month of November.
Choosing to give thanks, or show gratitude, can and should be done all throughout the year. Which is why I’ve created this simple, straightforward printable for you to use in a Gratitude Challenge.
Not sure what that means or why it’s important? Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered with all the details on developing an “attitude of gratitude”.

What Exactly is Gratitude?
Gratitude is just appreciating the good stuff in life, big or small. It’s taking a moment to notice and be thankful for what makes you happy—like a kind gesture or a sunny day. It’s about shifting focus from what’s missing to what’s already great in your life.
Why Do a Gratitude Challange?
Let’s face it – sometimes we get bogged down in the challenges of life. Things get busy and chaotic and it feels like everything is just going wrong. But almost always, there is still something we can be thankful for.
But why does it matter? Why should we care to shift our focus from the bad to the good?
Research consistently shows that practicing gratitude can lead to improved mental health, stronger relationships, and even better physical health. By focusing on what we’re thankful for, we shift our mindset from dwelling on problems to recognizing the good that already exists in our lives.
What to Expect in a 30-Day Gratitude Challenge
The concept is simple: for the next 30 days, dedicate a few minutes each day to acknowledging and reflecting on things you’re grateful for.
This printable will serve as your companion, helping you stay engaged and motivated throughout the challenge.
