I don't yap about this here much mostly because it's just kind of dull.
Over the past few years I've been working to better myself. Changing bad habits to good/useful habits. Making myself healthier physically and mentally. Yeah, real dull stuff like that. It's just a matter of finding one (or two) little goal/challenge per month and working toward it. Since January is almost over, it's time to set up my goal/challenge list for February. I thought I had February's calendar page all written up but I decided just now that there is something else to add to it.
Something challenging yet FUN.
Something that doesn't require a lot of physical effort but could prove mentally/emotionally challenging.
Something that will also give me a reason to get myself a small treat (to use for the challenge).
What is it?
A Greatful Journal.
This isn't a new idea at all. It's not even new to me. I'm sure I've heard of it before and heartily scoffed at it. But now it finally appeals to me. Hmm, perhaps I really am "bettering" myself, huh?
I'm not even going to wait until February to start. I'm starting TODAY. I'm going to go out later and get a tiny notebook just for this challenge. Tiny because I want to be able to keep it with me all the time. Tiny because I want to keep focused on being brief. No long journal entries. Just focus on those three things that day that I am grateful for. They could be silly, simple things. Or they might be huge. It will be fun to discover them.
