This weekend I made a commitment to myself to start keeping a daily journal. The one I am using is called “The Five-Minute Journal.”
I wake up in the morning and write:
- What I am grateful for
- What would make today great?
- Daily affirmation
Then at the end of the day, I write:
- 3 Amazing things that happened today
- How could I have made today even better?
What I love about this journal is they give you a whole introduction on how to be successful with this and why you need it. Also included are apps that can keep you on track and you can also set daily reminders for yourself to stay on track at Journalhabit.com
So what’s happening so far?
- I find I am going to bed earlier as I know I won’t write if I stay up too late
- I have started my day feeling like I have more time for myself. I feel more reflective and happier to greet my kids and set the vibe for the day.
- I feel more optimistic and so far I have actually done one thing I have set out to accomplish, maybe because a seed is planted in my head…
