Joy Journal
ByIf you have a journal, is it mostly about gripes, complaints and whining? This is perfectly fine. We need to get the junk out. But, we can also use journaling to make us feel happier and more joyful.
You can have a separate joy journal or just make sure you add some joy entries in your journal regularly.
What can you put in your joy entries/journal?
- Precious moments
- Gratitudes
- Things that made you laugh that day
- People that you love
- Your strengths
- Activities you loved to do as a kid
- What you appreciate about others
- Place that give you peace and joy
- Joyful experiences
- Things you love to do, smell, taste and see
- Your accomplishments
- Happy thoughts
- Celebrations
- Collect cartoons
- List 25 things, people or places that bring you pleasure

I can’t agree with you more. A joy journal is a tremendous idea. I just resurrected my own Gratitude Journal. I also keep a special binder of cards and love notes that have been written to me. Writing a love letter to myself was a profound experience. It’s amazing the wisdom and love we have inside that when we express it, we multiply the feeling of love in our life. The free Club Joy at http://www.womeninjoy.com is also a great place to share your wisdom and insights and get inspired by others. Wishing you every joy. Coach Laura
