Thanksgiving is coming, so it’s time for all the gratitude posts on social media.

But, what if this November, we all took 15 days to write down something for which we’re thankful every day? Maybe for you, social media is the right place to do that. If you’re like our team and don’t have the time to risk the social media distraction, though, old-fashioned journaling might be a better option.

Practicing purposeful gratitude

We’ve learned that by being intentional with our thankfulness, we can reap some great mental health and productivity benefits. That’s helpful when you’re a small business owner!

Here are 15 days of gratitude journal prompts to get you thinking about a fresh, thankful perspective as we approach the holiday season. At Bsquared, we’re thankful for you and for the opportunity to earn and keep your trust and support your personal and business financial needs.

What would you add to this list of prompts? Find us on Facebook and let us know with a #thankful post!
