Welcome to the land of green light all around and blue sky forever. I created a new journaling exercise to write about my day. First I scheduled 5 minutes daily to journal but soon after journaling became boring. Discovered I truly enjoy writing about life from above 30,000 feet. What do I think. Why do I believe. How do I feel. Now I’m trending a better life experience and I’m writing more often. I’m no expert! Welcome to the land of green light all around and blue sky forever. Consider optimism.
In a world flooded with bad news, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find moments of solace, clarity, and self-reflection. In this chaotic landscape, it’s no wonder that I have forgotten the importance of simply pausing to think and write a daily journal for reflection. I recommend writing about the landscape and draw pictures of trees floating in the sky.
“I will write for 5 minutes in a daily journal.”
The journaling app Notion or Obsidian work great. Writing a daily self-care journal can be one of the most important daily habits for a long and healthy life. Read 5 minutes to focus on you.
“I will draw flowers, paint trees and talk to the sunrise.”
I mostly write about what I like. I avoid negative writing and I practice positive writing. Negative writing is super easy compared to positive writing. My lizard brain can easily remember negative experiences to avoid repeat mistakes and not get eaten by a bear. Positive writing is more work. Positive thinking is a better use of my mind.
“I will focus my thoughts on optimism and avoid pessimism.”
Optimism is an attitude reflecting a belief or hope that the outcome of most any endeavor in daily life will be positive, favorable, and desirable.
Pessimism is an attitude in which an undesirable outcome is anticipated from most any situation.
“The law of attraction is very helpful in my life.”
The law of attraction is a principle that states people can attract what they want into their lives by focusing their thoughts and intentions on it. It’s often associated with positive thinking and the idea that positive thoughts and actions lead to positive outcomes, while negative ones lead to negative outcomes.
I believe the law of attraction is simply focused on optimistic goals, so when bad things happen, it matters less.
“I don’t have a lot of time AND I will be patient with everyone in my life.”
Do you want to feel better about everything? It’s difficult to make time or have space to just think, or not think, for a few minutes of solace. I believe anyone can test self-care journaling and feel 10% better about everything. After writing every day for 30 days, maybe you will feel 50% to 75% better about everything. Self-care journaling can help in just 5 minutes a day. Consider optimism.
