Why You Need a Daily Gratitude Practice to Improve Your Mental Health

I'm sharing my daily gratitude practice with you - the one that has helped me heal through heartaches and traumas. And the one that helps me sleep better each night. I'm also including my favorite daily journal prompts for free (links below!).But, really quick, I want to give a trigger warning for some of the content in this article. My past abuse is mentioned. And so is the story of someone who had been disabled from a gunshot wound. There are no details given beyond mentioning just that. The focus is on the experience of healing after the fact. I try to be very transparent with others, knowing some people are not in the right place to hear about subjects like these. If you do find yourself triggered by anything brought up in this article, you might find relief in either my Journal Prompts for Triggers or my detailed article on How to Deal with Triggers. As always, I’m here for you.In this episode, we will discuss:The benefits of a daily gratitude practiceDaily journal prompts for gratitudeUsing gratitude to improve mental health, relationships, and overall view of lifePromoting self-love and body image through gratitudeFinding the silver liningHealing after traumaHealing after heartbreakFinding gratitude after pain, suffering, trauma, or heartbreakTrue mental and emotional resiliencyEpisodes and Articles Mentioned:Journal Prompts to Start Your DayJournal Prompts to Reflect at the End of Your DayThe Beginning of Root and RiseJournal Prompts for TriggersHow to Deal with TriggersSelf-Care Ideas and ActivitiesYou can find today's show notes on Root and Rise Blog or by clicking here. Get Social!Follow Root and Rise Podcast on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.You can find me (Breanne) on Instagram as well! Special credit to Purple Planet Music for the background track, https://www.purple-planet.comI'd be so honored to have you join me each week in a live group call on the Peanut App. If the thought of having to talk to a group makes you want to bury your head in the dirt, don’t worry!
