How to use these gratitude prompts
A gratitude prompt is simply a question that helps you notice something to be grateful for. The point is to get past autopilot entries like “I'm grateful for my family” and toward something specific and real — why today, which moment, what it felt like.
Pick a theme above to focus the prompts, tap New prompt, and write two or three sentences in response. Don't aim for perfect — aim for honest and specific. If you're brand new to this, our guide on how to start a gratitude journal walks through the basics, and you can browse a hand-picked set in our 30 gratitude prompts article.
Consistency beats intensity. One specific line a day, most days, rewires your attention over time — here's what the research says about why.
