Gratitude Journaling - Revolutionise your journaling with the 1/3/1 technique

Hello, friends.

Welcome back to Unbound Gratitude!

Over the past three months, we’ve delved deep into the world of gratitude journaling, culminating in our transformative 21-day gratitude challenge.

We’re excited to introduce a new format to our newsletter as we move forward.
Each week, we’ll share one powerful gratitude journaling hack to help you continue your journey and three carefully curated pieces to inspire and support you. Additionally, our beloved Conversation Corner will now be linked to a new section on our website, where you can read each conversation from previous publications. We will get these published in due course.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Let’s continue to grow and thrive together.

Using the 1/3/1 Writing Rhythm

The 1/3/1 writing rhythm is a simple yet powerful structure for writing, thus journaling.

First, you open with a single sentence that sets the tone or introduces the prompt. Next, you expand on the idea with three sentences that delve deeper into your thoughts and reflections. Finally, you conclude with one sentence encapsulating your insights and expressing gratitude. Using this rhythm, you can create concise and meaningful journal entries that capture the essence of your daily experiences.

Remember to appreciate the small moments and lessons as you continue your gratitude journaling journey.

Here is an example of the 1/3/1 Writing Rhythm Technique:

1/3: I have the tools to be successful.

2/3: I need to be confident in my application through this task. The task itself is new, but the method is the same. Apply the same confidence, and I will end up with the result I am looking for. Trust the process and trust the tools.

3/3: I am grateful I have the skills, tools and confidence to tackle this task.
