Yes journaling videos would be great! There are a lot of videos about how to get started with journaling however, I’d like to see content for those of us who regularly journal and want to be more sophisticated about it.
Yes!
Dear Helen, what you say is really exactly how I feel about gratitude journaling. Thank you for expressing it so well.
I started some years ago and found out that my mind really shifted.
I'm now more able to focus and be aware of the good moments of my day all day long, even very small things, especially the small things (the great connection with/between my daughters, a smile of a stranger, birds, colors, the beauty of life around me...).
It's also so true that I first began with small sentences to express my gratitude on my notebook, thinking I would remember the details. But I was wrong, this memories fade away. And the more I'm precise in my writing, the more joy it gives me in the moment I'm writing because I have to focus and deepen my thoughts, but reading it some years later brings back the memories more vividly.
Thank you for your work and sharing your thoughts and advices.
(And sorry for my unperfect and messy english)
So many good gems in this video; “write about being grateful for what you get to do” was my favorite. Thank you 🙏🏽
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it, thank you. It’s a great quote isn’t it. In my head I now call my “to do” list my “I get to do list”. It’s such a change in mindset 🥰❤️
Really helpful and I will definitely go deeper when I write my gratitude from now on.
Thank you Helen! This is a wonderful reminder about something powerful that we can do to counter all the negativity we are exposed to daily! I have made gratitude journals, but did not keep up with them. I think this is the perfect time to start again! And so for today, Helen, I am grateful that I watched this lovely video, and for YOU!!!
That is so lovely of you to say. Thank you so much for brightening my day Ann 🥰 I do hope you get started with it again. Such a powerful tool to help look after ourselves ❤️
Thank you for sharing this video about gratitude journaling- you are right about one negative thought perhaps spiraling to even more…I’ve noticed that for myself and I am now interested to seeing how gratitude journaling will help me focus on the many blessings in my life.
Thank you Helen! I do gratitude journaling, but very infrequently, so this video is encouraging me to be more consistent & perhaps more specific in the things I am grateful for
❤ the way you explain this is very helpful Helen, I used to do gratitude journaling too and for exactly the reason of it becoming a 'chore' I stopped. I agree, focussing on the smallest things, but in combination with a bit more depth is the way to go 😊
I’m so pleased you found it helpful Maureen, thank you. Gratitude journaling has definitely become a real joy for me and getting deeper was the key 🥰❤️
thank you so much for the encouragement! I can't wait to get more detailed in my gratitude journaling.
This is such good timing, I've just gotten back into gratitude journaling
I can really see how a gratitude journal would be so good for one’s mental health. It’s something I think I need to explore more fully. When I tried one previously I found it too repetitive. I take your ideas on board. Thank you dear Helen x
I’m so pleased you found it helpful. Thank you very much Heather. I really hope you return to some gratitude journaling, it’s such a lovely boost 🥰x
I began gratitude journaling this year, and have found I am a bit repetitive. The idea of being more specific is very helpful and i will be trying that as I move forward in this new endevor. thank you,
I’m so pleased you found it helpful, thank you very much ❤️
Bless you Helen, wise words. I understand we are all different and those things you speak of I anchor to my faith. This is the greatest thing I am grateful for. Thank you for your videos. X.
Thank you so much Pauline. I’m really pleased you enjoy my videos 🥰x
As serendipity would have it, this video was timed perfectly. I thoroughly appreciated the reminder of what gratitude journaling is supposed to be about. I have definitely suffered with boredom with myself when I have attempted to start a gratitude journal, I made it so repetitive, I guess it felt more like a chore and I was always rushing to get it done. So thank you for the reminder of what the intention of this wonderful tool is about.
I’m so happy to hear that Brenda. It’s so easily done to find it becoming a chore, but such a joy when you dig a little deeper. I really hope you enjoy gratitude journaling now and feel all the lovely benefits 🥰❤️
Helen: your message was well put! Everyone needs to be reminded of all the positive things in our lives that we start to take for granted. The little everyday things we do that many people can’t do. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Very worthwhile. Carol from California
Thank you so much Carol. So much that we are exposed to is designed to leave us wanting more and feeling dissatisfied. It’s wonderful when we can take control and feel grateful for all the little things in our lives ❤️
@@HelenColebrook Additionally, we have to understand that no material thing can make us happy and how much stuff do we really need? These thoughts and questions come with time, at different times, for everyone. When you really feel it and get it, you know you have grown a little bit more. Just a thought. Carol
THANK YOU! VERY HELPFUL. I have been doing a gratitude journal for while but not going deep enough, so this was great,. More of these videos if you have the time. Loved it.
That’s so lovely to hear Fern, thank you. I’m really pleased you enjoyed it ❤️
Thank you for the video, I don't normally comment but today your video was very timely. I appreciate the way you explain going deeper in are gratitude for family or books or anything we get to do.
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it and thank you very much for taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate it ❤️
Thank you for sharing this inspiration, Helen. I think this will be very helpful for me to get started with adding gratitude journaling into my daily life. I'm going to take your suggestion and give it a go for 30 days. Thank you!! ❤
That’s lovely to hear Michele, thank you. I’m so pleased you are going to try it for 30 days. It can make such a difference ❤️
Thank you so much for this video Helen, perfect timing!
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. Thank you Lidy ❤️
You are so right Helen! Great video!! Thank you!!
What an important video, Helen! I've been thinking about starting a Gratitude Journal for a long time (along my other journals), but haven't yet.
I've got a disease of the connective tissues called hypermobility Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which gives me fatigue and pain. When I saw this video it just struck me that maybe it's even more important to keep a gratitude journal then, when every day is a struggle. Really makes me think! Thank you! 🤗
Wishing you a Happy Easter, or as we say in Sweden, Glad Påsk! 🐣 🌼🪻🏵

Happy Easter to you too and thank you so much for your lovely words. I definitely think gratitude journaling is really important, especially during difficult times. It doesn’t remove the struggles but it does provide a lovely boost to your mindset 🤗🐰🩷
Thank youi, Helen. Such wise advice and encouragement
Thank you so much 🥰❤️
Really helpful, thanks Helen! I have a small notebook by my bed where I try to jot down a few things I am grateful for at the end of each day. But it's good to go deeper from time to time so I'll be doing that today. A great antidote to feeling fed up and sorry for myself while I'm poorly!
I’m so pleased it came at the right time for you Sarah. Being poorly is no fun at all, but hopefully focusing on gratitude will help to lift you a little. I hope you feel much better soon ❤️
Thanks for the positive content
This is such a positive video. Thank you for reminding me of the wonderful things that my life holds and that I am grateful for. I need to put those in the forefront!
I’m so pleased you enjoyed it, thank you very much Laurel. It’s so easy to let these things slip isn’t it, especially in tougher times ❤️
I haven’t received notifications of your videos for so long 😢 I don’t know why especially since I always used to get them. Great video by the way! I do gratitude journaling for years now and it’s so liberating 😊
Ooh I wonder why that is! I send out a quick email to my blog subscribers when I release new videos as I know UA-cam notifications don’t always show up. Thank you for being here 🥰❤️
@@HelenColebrook I’m happy to be back 🤗 💕I just started uploading videos myself and my god I get nervous every time when I post 😂
I so enjoy seeing your bright face first thing in my morning :) I can't believe how much you are writing in your gratitude journal. It is a chore to me to get even just three things down a day. btw - you shouldn't be nervous Helen you are fabulous at doing these videos ;) Thank you for saying it takes time. It has been a practice that tends to make me a little depressed = lol. This really helped Helen, thank you so much😍
Thank you so much Zoie 🥰 Time and patience is definitely important with this type of journaling. At some point though, the words will just flow and it becomes such a lovely topic to write about, along with making you feel good ❤️
@@HelenColebrook thanks for the encouragement. I will give it a try again. I was just writing inside a productive community all the benefits of journaling and speaking of blocks of resistance. I definitely have a resistance to gratitude journaling, but I will listen to this video often and I am sure it will help. You are the very first person out of the art community, self help or anyone for that matter that has put this topic so well.
Great video just subbed.
