Is gratitude journaling the same as gratitude meditation?

They are close cousins and work beautifully together. Gratitude journaling means writing down what you appreciate, while gratitude meditation means sitting with the feeling of it in your body and mind. Writing helps you notice and remember; meditating helps the appreciation actually sink in. Many people do a little of both, reflecting and then writing. StillMind combines guided gratitude practice with journaling, so you can feel it and capture it in one place.
