Gratitude Journal - January Week 2

 

January Newsletter (classroom ideas from Lisa)

The focus for this month's Gratitude Journal is Barriers and Renewal, with the Week 2 focus on how to maintain gratitude during hard or stressful times.  Take a minute to think (or write - p. 62) about the following prompt:

What specific steps can you take to choose gratitude during hard or stressful times?  For example, could you try to reframe a challenge as an opportunity for growth? Gratitude for these lessons doesn't erase the pain, but it can help to create meaning from the struggle.



This prompt also reminds me of the Character Building trait, Reflective.  Are there ways you can combine these two things this week?

In our current lives, choosing gratitude may be getting more and more difficult - at work, home, or in our community/world.  Think of someone who seems to demonstrate gratitude - what behaviors do they exhibit?  Why are they able to do this?  And what can you learn from them?


May you find many things to be grateful for this week!
