So, I’m keeping a gratitude journal. :) I realize that may sound cheesy, but somebody close to me encourage me to do so recently, and so here I am, journalling! Every day I spend just about 5 minutes - usually over breakfast - writing down a few thoughts. It’s really been easy and cathartic and maybe even fun. It’s kind of nice just writing by hand the old-fashioned way, and even better that I know nobody has to read it if I don’t want them to, so I can “sound stupid” all I want. I do journal about being grateful about something, but also plans for the future, memories from the past; whatever comes to mind. I do it right before I meditate and that, plus the meditation, really does clear my mind. I think I had hang-ups about “doing it right” in the past that kept me from starting, but now that I’m just going for it and keeping it short and sweet, I find I really am doing it every day.
