Thankful Thoughts

Gratitude and More for Teens!

Thankful thoughts is a self-exploration gratitude journal for teenagers that will help inspire you to be grateful, reflect on your highlights and challenges of each day, and ask thought-provoking questions to encourage connection.

Practicing gratitude has been shown to reduce stress, improve attention, and increase one's ability to regulate emotions, show empathy, and feel compassion. Research suggests that grateful young adolescents are happier, more energetic, have better social support and are more satisfied with their school, community, friends, and most importantly, themselves.



The journal includes 90 daily color pages to record what you are grateful for today, today's highlights, and today's challenges. The last question changes each day and encourages teens to connect with their feelings and have open communication with parents.



Examples include:

What has had the greatest impact on your life and why?What gift do you have that you can share with others?Is it worse to fail miserably at something you want to do, or to never try at all?Which best describes you - a leader or a follower? Why?

Thankful Thoughts will help you develop a daily self-care habit that you look forward to each day! Grab one for a friend!
