Day 8: Your Gratitude Practice
Journal prompts to (re)build your personal gratitude practice
Welcome to the final day of our Gratitude Reset series!
Today we will reflect back on everything we’ve explored and decide how we’d like to move forward with our own gratitude practices. Ideally, you will discover a more authentic, natural way to integrate gratitude into your day-to-day life.
If you find after the prompts that you are still unclear, allow yourself the gift of more time to sit with everything you’ve explored. This process does not need to be rushed, and you do not need to figure it out right now. Be playful and experiment until you find what works—simply let life unfold! And you can always come back to these prompts at a later date if you’d like.
Below you will find the audio track for Day 8 and the transcription of the intro/lead-in to the meditation and journaling. The journal prompts are also listed below, in case you aren’t able to listen. As always though, I recommend listening to help create the full meditative journaling experience.

Lesson 8: Your Gratitude Practice
Welcome to our final session. If you've made it this far, thank you so much for sticking with me and for sticking with this practice! Today we'll bring everything together to more clearly define what we want our gratitude practice to look like going forward.
Journal Prompts:
Now that I've explored gratitude on a deeper level, what would I like for my relationship with gratitude to look like in the future? What role do I see gratitude playing in my day-to-day life?
How would I define gratitude now?
What feels like the most genuine way for me to regularly express gratitude?
What can help remind me to stop and take time to reflect on what I am grateful for?
How might expressing gratitude more often bring me peace?
What would you like your gratitude practice to look or feel like moving forward? I would love to hear what you’re thinking and overall what you’ve learned from this series. Did it help you see gratitude more clearly? What learnings can you share with the rest of us?
And remember, there is a special gift for anyone who completes all 8 days of this course by the end of the year: a free month of the paid subscription to the Soul Journaling Sessions. All you have to do is leave your reflections below or restack this post to Notes with your insights.
Did you enjoy this course? Please help others find it! You can share this post, any post in the series, or a link to the series page.
I very much appreciate YOU for moving through this series with me!
With much love & gratitude,
Marcy
When I read the prompts I suddenly realised how far I've come Marcy! And how proud I am of it!
Somehow I've slowed down a lot as a person. My identity has shifted. I've ingrained gratitude into my being, without putting myself down and giving space to explore emotions...which is beautiful ❤️.
I don't have a gratitude practice as such! But because it's become ingrained in me...it feels seamless. From time to time I do experiments like this one to go deeper into specific perspectives:)
Again cannot be more grateful for the journey!
What this experience has shown me is I have a well founded gratitude practice. It’s something I’ve really focused on in my life. I’ve also learned to switch up the questions I ask myself rather than list the 3 things I’m grateful for, so the experience is deeper.
This was a lovely process! Thanks.
