“The Untamed Power of Gratitude” Workbook🌿 Section 1: Exploring Your Relationship With Gratitude
Reflection Questions
Write honestly. There are no right or wrong answers.
When you hear the word “gratitude,” what feelings or thoughts come up?
Do you ever feel pressure to be grateful, even when things are hard? When?
Who taught you about gratitude—directly or indirectly?
How has gratitude shown up during the darkest or most difficult times in your life?
“Gratitude is not a bypass. It’s a reclamation.”
Prompt:
Write about a time when you chose to be grateful in a situation others might have seen only as loss or pain.
What did that choice shift in you?
What were you grateful for and in spite of?
Gratitude doesn’t erase grief—it lives alongside it.
Journaling Exercise
What is something (or someone) you’ve lost recently or are still grieving?
Without dismissing the pain, can you find anything you’re still grateful for within that experience?
Who is someone you deeply appreciate, but maybe haven’t told in a while?
What would you say to them if you were being completely open and specific?
Optional Exercise:
Write them a letter (you don’t have to send it… but you can).
List Exercise
List 3 things you’re grateful for right now, in this moment.
List 3 things you’re grateful for that haven’t happened yet.
This blends current joy with future hope.
