Get Inspired for Gratitude Season with these 50 Photo or Storytelling Prompts!
I don’t know about you, but every time I commit to a daily project, I start off strong and then my momentum withers away the moment I miss a day or get stumped on what to document. I have a graveyard of half-finished daily projects in my craft room and it’s embarrassing.
Well have no fear: if you’re wanting to do a daily gratitude project in November, I’ve brainstormed fifty prompts (you only need thirty!) for things you can document this month in your gratitude scrapbooks, journals, or photo projects. These ideas are perfect whether you like to focus on words, photos, or a mix of both.
This list covers all kinds of thankful moments: from the big, meaningful stuff like people and memories, to the small everyday comforts like cozy blankets and favorite fall scents. You can work through them in order, pick one at random, or let the day’s mood decide what you want to capture. There’s no wrong way to use them.
The beauty of having a big list like this is that it takes away the pressure to be perfect. Miss a day? No problem. Just pick another prompt that inspires you and keep going. Gratitude isn’t about checking boxes, it’s about noticing the little moments that make life richer.
So grab your camera, your journal, or your favorite digital kit, and start documenting what makes your heart full this November. You might just find that the more you look for things to be grateful for, the easier it becomes to spot them every day.
