September is a month of transition—summer is winding down, autumn is peeking in, and routines are starting to fall into place again. It’s the perfect time to pause, reflect, and nurture a heart of gratitude. Journaling with gratitude prompts can help you stay grounded, lift your mood, and remind you of the little blessings that fill your life each day.
To help you start your September journaling practice, I’ve gathered 30 gratitude prompts—one for each day of the month. These prompts are simple, inspiring, and designed to bring joy and reflection into your daily routine.
