Recently, I heard some great advice from the best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert, when she appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show. She suggested keeping a “happiness journal.”
Remember when you were growing up, you probably had a diary or a
journal or knew someone who did? Most of us wrote in it religiously or
just complained about what happened to us or didn’t happen to us. Well,
with a happiness journal, it is a conscious effort to write down your HAPPY moments daily. It may seem silly but it helps to point out how fortunate you are and teaches us all to be more grateful!
Sure, there are days that are not going to be so good, but if you really pay attention, there is something (even if it’s a small something) in every day, that can make you happy or at least makes you smile.
Whether it is watching your kids play, or going out to a nice dinner
or lunch, spending quality time with a friend or loved one or maybe
someone paid you a compliment, or maybe even just walking outside and
enjoying the sunshine.
