COURSE

Give Thanks: Explore Gratitude Through Journaling

With Marcy Farrey

This course centers on journal prompts that will help you explore the many layers of gratitude. Rather than your typical "Today I am thankful for" prompts, these journal prompts are designed to help you examine what gratitude is for YOU, as a human being managing your day-to-day life. We'll explore your current relationship to gratitude, any blocks you have toward gratitude, and we'll express gratitude for others, ourselves, our life experiences, and our challenges. In the last session, we'll bring it all together and establish what a healthy gratitude practice could look like going forward.

Most courses on gratitude, just talk about things that you’re grateful for in your life right now, however, this course covers a lot of dimensions of thankfulness, including ones that have come from setbacks. I was able to get a totally new perspective on some things that I had wrestled with for a while . I highly recommend this as a alternative to more Pollyanna type stuff while still leaving you with a great feeling at the end of each day.

Thank you Marcy for all the prompts leading to a deeper understanding of what it means to be grateful. I learnt a lot about my current situation and found I was more grounded in these moments of relection and just being thankful for this present moment was very peaceful and relieved so many anxious thoughts. If you enjoy flow journalling this is the course for you. You will need lots of pens and notebooks, there is a lot to write here.
