Happiness is an awesome, crazy feeling that we deserve to feel every day! I'm fortunate that I do get to feel the sensation of happiness every day, through my husband, through my son, through my friends and even through really simple, little things like getting a phone call from a friend or a clean house.
Unfortunately, sometimes, we hit a rough patch where we forget to see or feel the happiness around us. Once, when I ran into one of those times my best friend suggested that I take a moment every day to write down two good things that happened. I kept them in a journal and over time I was reminded that no matter what, something good happens every day. I called it my "happiness journal."
It's a simple practice that has the potential to yield huge results.
I've given happiness journals to friends - friends that were going through hard times and friends that were experiencing exciting times. It works the same and is a neat way to record different seasons of our lives.
I challenge each of you to give it a try. If you need a new journal to get started, you can find these in my shop. Otherwise grab any old journal, or notebook - it will have the same effect!
