Before I knew journal was a thing from a child, I developed the habit of recreating my regular hard cover books and keeping a special one for special notes. During my travels, one of the most amazing discoveries was finding journals that sparked my joy. I thought, wow! with this already made I can go straight into writing. I am happy to share some tips, to keep that journal of yours busy:

Grab a beautiful pen in store at Solutions Giant and a lovely Journal and lets get writing.

Positive Affirmations - Create your own periodic routine, whether daily, weekly, monthly of the good things in life to be thankful for. My favorite is to be thankful for waking up this morning. There is so much to remind us, life is great. Head to your journal and make a heading, e.g. Daily Positive Affirmations.
Influence - During my relationship masters course in 2006, I learned how important it is to build and establish great relationships. In life, we cannot do it alone, its important to make a list and remember people who are positively impactful on your growth.
Pay It Forward - No matter how much life gives us, we can never be truly thankful until we understand the joy of giving. Its time to reflect on how much someone else impacted your life self-lessly and realize its good to pay it forward. Give back. Make a list of opportunities or persons to pay it forward.
Learnings - Did you know we never stop learning? Once you are open and ready to absorb more in life, your development continues. Always create a space in your journal to write something new you learned and the date.
Spark Joy - You may not realize but there are many things in life that consciously and subconsiously brings joy to you. Some things make you laugh loudly and some makes you get that warm fuzzy feeling inside. Did you know flowers, colors, scents, sounds, music, places, people and so much more can spark your joy? These things make life meaningful and purposeful when you can quickly identify them. Go ahead and make a list of things that spark your joy.
