Deep cleaning can sometimes feel tedious, but every once in a while, it can lead to incredible finds! Recently I was organizing my bookshelf, and I stumbled upon a small, bright yellow happiness journal. I felt so happy and grateful to have found this, as I hadn’t seen it in so long, and it holds a special place in my heart. Although I already started writing in it, I didn’t get too far, so I’ve decided to give it another shot!
This journal is called “101 Smiles Make a Sunshine,” and it has prompts to write down 101 happy moments. It is designed so that when I fill out the pages, I can fold them and form a beautiful paper sculpture of a rising sun. This new year I want to take some time to write down something that made me happy at the end of each day, no matter how big or small. It could be something as simple as having a warm cup of tea or seeing a butterfly! I’m excited to look back on it and reflect on all the little moments of joy that I would have otherwise forgotten about or taken for granted.
If you are looking for a new thing to try this year or a new journaling prompt, this is a lovely way to cultivate gratitude and a positive mindset. The best part is that you don’t need this particular journal to give it a try. You can jot down your answers in a notebook, calendar or even on your phone!
