What would you put in a gratitude journal when nothing good happens?

I've been busy with work, school and internships so i havent had much time for anything else. Sure im grateful for a job, car, house etc but what else is there when days are so monotonous for the aforementioned reasons.

I’m grateful I can see and take in all the wondrous sights around me.

I’m grateful I can hear the voices of loved ones, children laughing, birds chirping.

I’m grateful my body is strong and healthy, that it allows me to do what I need to do to live a better life.

@LyricalOne because my purpose of wanting to do one is to be more aware of what i have to be grateful for. But if i continuously write the same thing...

@iamnikki Okay, whatever.

@LyricalOne why are you "whatevering" me? I appreciate and agree with this answer and your others.

I guess I'd put that I'm grateful it was a peaceful and low-stress day.

@SW-User i dont have those days. Internship plus work plus school

You do have days when you can handle it though. @iamnikki

@SW-User yea im handling it now
Very stressful. Feel like you cant rest.

I think part of gratitude /mindfulness training is getting you to see through the mundane to what is truly exceptional

An example is the organising of a musical prodigy to busk at a busy station

People didn't see/hear him

They were in top much of a rush

What are you missing?

I always write about small things. Like how relaxing a shower was, or how good some food was, or if the weather was nice.

You can ask a person that just got out of prison...or you can just thank for things you dont have like aIDS, TB etc etc

Food, health, friends, music, It can be anything simply that u enjoy.
