What is a gratitude journal?
First, let me explain the word gratitude.
Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation, of thankfulness for the good things in your life.
Feeling gratitude can change the negative into a positive, change how you feel, and bring hope and happiness.
Feeling gratitude in the present moment makes you happier and more relaxed and improves your overall health and well-being.
It’s an ability to develop and to help you, you will find ideas and quotations to start.
Now I can tell you what is a gratitude journal. It’s a journal where you will write the things that make you feel happy, and grateful during your day.
How to start a gratitude journal?
To help you start your journal, you need to be more attentive to each little thing that brings you happiness in your life.
Start your day by thinking that you will have to write three to five things for which you are grateful for your day when night will come.
More you will do and more you will notice and feel the gratitude for the little things which make you happy.

Which paper to use to print this journal
I like to print planners and journals on thick paper.
With this paper, I’m able to write down on each page without the ink bleeding on the other side.
I use this paper for a moment now, and I’m so glad!
It’s really smooth at the touch, and bright.
I found that using these Staedtler pens and these Stabio ones are the best choice over ballpoint pens. The ink from the pens dry very fast, and the ink doesn’t bleed on the other side.
Don’t forget to buy paper according to your printer: inkjet or laserjet.
How to resize for the Classic Happy Planner
If you want to resize the pages for the dimensions of the Classic Happy Planner, you can use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to open the file and set some preferences.
To fit your Classic Happy Planner, you will have to print at 82 % of the real dimensions.
Search for Custom Scale and replace the 100 % with 82 %.
You can also choose the pages you want to print.
And last, under the Custom Scale, you will find Print on both sides of paper. Checked the box.
In the Resource Library, you can find a template with black lines to help you cut your pages to fit perfectly the Classic Happy Planner.
Print this template, place a page you just printed over it, trace some lines, and cut.
Punch them with a punch for a discbound system like the Mambi one.

Now, if you prefer a planner in the A5 format, here’s what you can do.
Using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, you can print your planner as a booklet, so each page will be in the right order on both sides when you will cut them in half.
Here’s what you have to do.

5- Don’t change the numbers in the Sheets from boxes.
6- Select Auto-Rotate Pages to automatically rotate each page for the best fit in the printable area.
Cut each page in the middle and rearrange the order of them.
Punch holes and place them in your planner.
