Positivity Journals: Journaling Your Way To A Happier Life

Frankie Wallace

When was the last time you intentionally practiced positive thinking? If you’re in a rut, it’s probably been a while since you wrote your own affirmations or took time to think about the things you’re grateful for.

Inviting positivity back into your life when you’re at a low point can be difficult. Sometimes you just have to fake it til you make it — that’s where a positivity journal comes in.

Positivity journaling can help you form a self-help habit that sticks. Five minutes a day is all it takes to jot down a few positive notes and reframe your mindset. Starting a daily writing practice can also be rewarding, as you’ll improve your skills as a writer and creative thinker.
