I heard some great advice from the best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert, when she appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show.  She suggested keeping a “happiness journal.”  Remember when you were growing up, you probably had a diary or a journal or knew someone who did? Most of us wrote in it religiously about what happened or just complained about what happened to us or didn’t happen to us each day. Well, with a happiness journal, it is a conscious effort to write down your HAPPY moments daily.  It may seem silly, but it helps to point out how fortunate you are and teaches us all to be more grateful!

Sure, there are days that are not going to be so good, but if you really pay attention, there is something (even if it’s a small something) in every day, that can make you happy or at least makes you smile.

Whether it is watching your kids play, walking your dog, going out to a nice dinner or lunch (even if you just take yourself,) spending quality time with a friend or loved one or maybe even just walking outside and enjoying the sunshine, there is always something to be grateful for.  Even if someone tells you how nice you look or that they appreciate you, it is worth noting.

Pay attention to the little things in life and in nature and you will begin to notice how blessed and happy your life really is.

You never really appreciate things and people until they’re gone. Do not wait for that to happen!

You can help yourself by raising your vibration and frequency. The state you are in, (whether sad, happy etc…) is what you will attract. The state you are in (your vibration) draws to you, situations and people that are on the same frequency. This is the law of attraction and the law of resonance. Whether you stay in a low state or go to a higher, happier state of being is up to YOU!

How do I do that you ask? You can help yourself by the use of empowering routines and powerful affirmations on a daily basis. You can write down affirmations, and things you are grateful for or simply read them aloud. You can also do visualization exercises, journaling, such as using a productivity planner or an actual law of attraction planner to help organize your thoughts and I invite you to take the “Happiest Moment” Challenge and start your journal/note taking today!

All you have to do is get a notebook, or if you have a real diary or journal even better and begin writing today one thing that made you happy for the day. And if you don’t want to deal with writing in a journal, attached is pdf file that contains blank work sheets for you to print and fill out your 30-Day Happiest Moments Challenge. 

Make this your happy challenge for the next 30 days and see how it affects your life.

Remember that mindset is everything! Hopefully, you will begin to notice the little things in life that make a difference and express more gratitude for what you have in your life.
