Choose a template below and post it to your community at regular intervals, such as weekly or after big milestones. Encourage members to reply with their own gratitude shares, and be sure to interact with their responses to keep the conversation going. You can pin a gratitude thread, include it in your weekly challenges, or use it as a prompt for group check-ins. Remember to model the behavior by sharing your own gratitude too.
These templates work across all platforms. For forums, create a recurring gratitude thread. On social media, use images or story features to highlight member gratitude. For chat-based platforms, post prompts during peak activity times for maximum visibility. Always encourage replies and call out supportive responses.
Weekly prompts work well, but you can increase or decrease frequency based on member engagement. Test to find your community's ideal rhythm.
Lead by example by sharing your own gratitude first. Tag frequent contributors and encourage supportive replies to make participation feel safe.
They are effective in both private and public settings. Adapt your language slightly if privacy is a concern, but the core prompts work everywhere.
Ask follow-up questions, celebrate specific stories, and publicly recognize thoughtful answers to deepen engagement.
Yes. Rotating through templates and revisiting popular ones keeps gratitude top of mind. Just be sure to space repeats out.
Reply to as many as possible, especially early on. Even a quick thank you or emoji helps members feel valued and encourages more sharing.
Translate the prompts, but keep them short and culturally relevant. Focus on universal gratitude themes like progress, support, and personal growth.
