Happy Journal

[Basket]

I like to start a "Happy Journal" in my diary today. Perhaps we could gather some things who makes us happy.

Today I like to try this challenge and write down things in my diary
~ analogical CanadianJingle ask in her thread viewtopic.php?f=67&t=2066
'Focus on the Positive: What was Great in Your Life Today?'

1) Try to write down 3-5 things per day that made you happy.
2) Find some single words who gives you a pleasurable feeling or suggest happiness.
3) Look at some photos / clippings which makes you happy.

Any other ideas?

This is a very good idea... so that the days when it doesn't go so well we can look at our book for a pick-me-up!

Great idea, think I will combine the idea of adding pictures to my gratitude journal.

This is the boost I need, just filled mine out.....added it into my planner, that way, I can go back over days as they go by and focus on the positive.

I put it all together now ~ Diary, Gratitude, Celebrate me and my Happy Journal. (Great idea!) I´ve made some dividers for each section in a binder. I´ve bought colored letter paper for that.

Yesterday I thought it will be fine to
4. think about a quotation every Monday, which fits with my thoughts and
5. write down a poem (which makes me smile) on Friday

Today I made some photos from my flowers again. I´ll put some in my Garden Art Journal adapted to Gingers challenges and one or two special ones in my Happy Journal (have a wonderful photo of a single Magnolia (beautiful and proud).

Find the words JOY, FUN, Joke and Spring for me yesterday and the three things I like today are
a) a ladybug in my garden :flower:
b) having lunch with my son (20) and my mother (3 generations together) *lol*
c) finding Gingerbugs Monthly Magics for May (like working on them)

Great idea! I like the Quote idea, too. Maybe you could make a CD of your favorite 'feel good' songs and slide it in a pocket in your book?
