• Gratitude journaling involves regularly writing down things you are grateful for in a journal. Typically this is done by listing 3-5 things daily.
• It trains your brain to focus on the positive aspects of your life rather than dwelling on the negative. Writing things down is key, as research shows the act of journaling amplifies the benefits versus just thinking grateful thoughts.
• Studies show gratitude journaling can increase positive emotions like happiness, optimism, life satisfaction, and self-esteem. It also reduces negative emotions like depression, stress, and anxiety.
• Physical benefits include better sleep quality, reduced inflammation, lower blood pressure, and improved heart health.
• Gratitude journaling strengthens relationships by making people more patient, supportive and helpful towards others.
• It can boost motivation and productivity by starting the day with a positive mindset.
• Overall, focusing on blessings counteracts the brain's negativity bias and fundamentally shifts perspective to appreciate life more.
• However, some studies show benefits are limited for those with clinical depression or severe trauma. It should complement other treatment.

In summary, gratitude journaling has a wide range of scientifically-validated benefits for wellbeing, relationships, motivation and health, both mentally and physically. It's a simple daily practice that can create long-term changes by training the brain to focus on the positive.
