Mindfulness is the key to realizing that on a day to day basis, though, I think!
By paying attention to details and trying to live in the moment, I'm enjoying my days more fully.
Recently, I've started writing down three things I'm grateful for each night ~ well, trying to do this in my journal each night...it's a habit I'm working on!
And I've been reading about Gratitude journals and a thankful heart.
A great book I started explores the idea of trying this for a year...the author talks about why need to make a purposeful attempt at reframing our days to look for things to be grateful for because we tend to dwell on negative too easily...but if we are aware of watching for what we are going to write about that evening, we look for the good.
The idea of Gratitude was talked about by philosophers for centuries, but only more recently looked at by psychologists and gratitude journals are being advocated. Studies show happiness is felt more readily by those that express gratitude...happiness itself is fleeting with an occurrence, but gratitude is a feeling that sustains.
I am continuing my class through this year with the Stampin'Up! Love Today Planner Kit.
I invite you to join us with the start of the New Year and new Resolutions!
Class includes the beautiful kit and you will receive writing prompts, crafting techniques and encouragement about once a week to keep you on track.
Some experts say a habit takes about a month to be learned, new evidence shows some habits might take 2 or 3 months, and even 6 months...so the course, and encouragement, will run for the next 6 months for just $75.
Join us...we've been having fun! ~ and welcome you to play along to create a beautiful journal through the coming months that is uniquely our own full of memories, daily happenings and gratitude!
