Hey HopefullyLost1211,
Kudos on your gratitude journal. It reminds you of the good stuff going on in your life.
Here's something else to try. I see gratitude as looking back at the good stuff. I also add a hope journal. The hope journal looks at things you want to happen. It could be something as simple as I hope I can get out of bed to I hope I get the new job.
Give it a try, if you like.
