7 Days of Gratitude: Simple Prompts to Help You Feel More Grounded
Gratitude doesn’t require a perfect life—just a willingness to notice the good in the middle of it all. This 7-day gratitude challenge offers short, reflective prompts to help you slow down and reconnect with the people, moments, and things that bring comfort and joy.
You don’t need a special journal or a long writing routine. Just a few quiet minutes a day to reflect, appreciate, and gently shift your perspective.
What Is the 7-Day Gratitude Challenge?
This challenge invites you to explore thankfulness in a thoughtful and approachable way. Each prompt is simple and open-ended, making space for both the big and small things you’re grateful for.
You can write your responses down or reflect silently—there’s no right way to do it. The goal is simply to pause and notice what’s good in your life right now.
