Easy Steps to Do This Gratitude Challenge.
First, write up something like the printable below.
Place it on your nightstand (Affiliate Link) with a pen or pencil. Or place it in a convenient place out in the open to make sure you don't forget about it.
Decide on which time of day
Determine which time of day you are going to do your gratitude challenge. Will it be in the morning when you first wake up or in the evening before you go to sleep?
Ways to think of what to be grateful for:
It may be difficult to find things/people/places in your life you are grateful for if you have never done this challenge before. That's OK. Think about specific things that happen during the day. Does any task, person, or thing particularly pop out in your memory? Did anything help you improve your day? Is there anything that stands out and opens your heart?
How to use the form below:
There are two columns below in the printable. The first column can be used for writing the room the item is in if it is a thing. Feel free to use the second column as the list of what the person, place, or thing is that you are grateful for.
What you get when doing this challenge
If you have items on your list that are in your home, this list will show you what you really appreciate and love in your home. And, if you wish to visit our November loves challenge to help you determine what you really love in your home, click the button below.

This year I bought a small spiral calendar that I keep beside my bed. Every night (almost) I make a notation of what I did that day, my steps for the day and 3 things I and grateful for or that make me happy. They have range from Brad Pitt to being able to make my teenage daughter smile. It has been a wonderful exercise in gratitude and I think I'll continue it into next year.

That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I did something similar a few years ago with a planner I received as a gift. It was so nice to flip through it at the end of the year to see what I was grateful for every day. =)
Linda Samuels says
There's so much to be grateful for. Bringing this top of mind only increases the positive effects that gratitude has on us. What a beautiful way to start the holiday season.
Sabrina Quairoli says
I agree, Linda. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

This post is very timely, because I'm already doing a gratitude challenge. I'm hoping that by the end of it, gratitude will be part of my daily routine.

This is a wonderful idea Sabrina!
We really do need to be reminded that there is much to be thankful for.
Mary says
This gratitude challenge is awesome! It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and lose focus on what we are grateful for. I’m going to print this form and follow your instructions 🙂
Sabrina Quairoli says
