Dear Journal,
I’ve mentioned this in a previous post, I’m always guilty of paying too much attention to the negatives in my life and dismissing everything positive.
Over the past couple of weeks I have began to change that. Every time something good happens, or I do something that I think I couldn’t do. I write the positive thing on a piece of paper and put it into a jar.
Writing my positives and achievements down on paper allows me to focus on the positive steps that I’ve taken.
I’ve been having a good week this week. I’ve been motivated, positive and healthy. I’ve been doing yoga most nights. Drinking more water. Eating most meals. Writing in my journal…sometimes haha. It’s made me feel much more optimistic.
When you’re feeling down, stressed or negative I would definitely suggest doing this. It really helps you to see that you have more positive things in your life than you think you do.
How is your week going so far? ❤
my sister and i last year started each day writing 3 good things that happened that day and put it in a bag so we can look at it during bad days. that was fun didnt last. only 13 songs until i finish my musical so excited it seemed impossible to do 50 songs but i am almost there its possible

Positive words have really brought me up from a place I never want to return. I truly believe in the idea of not only positive thought but the use of positive language. Great post!

This is a wonderful habit and the colorful paper makes it twice as much fun. I have a journal where I try to write down things that make me laugh, smile, or I appreciate. It helps me realise how much *good* there is. I hope your jar does that for you!

I LOVE this idea! I’ve thought about doing this for a whole year and then reading all of the positive things on New Year’s Eve.
Through reading your blog posts, I seriously feel like we are the same person!
