The 5 Minute Journal Project and Letter

I found this awesome idea on the web one day and thought maybe we could incorporate it into a swap. The idea is to focus on the positive and joyful things in our lives.

PART I

1)You will write in your journal (notebook, journal whatever you choose) twice a day for a total of five minutes. Once in the a.m. and once in the evening before you go to bed.

Basic format of the journal would be -

Date____ I am grateful for..... (list three things) What would make my day today great.....(list three things)

Daily affirmation - positive, self talk, etc. I am........................

Evening Amazing things that happened to me today (positives)...(list three) How could I have made today better? (list three)

YOU WILL KEEP YOUR JOURNAL for 30 days beginning on August 13th. Plenty of time to buy a journal, make a journal up. You can decorate it, etc. its yours and for your eyes only'

YOU WILL NOT BE SENDING THE JOURNAL TO YOUR PARTNER...YOU WILL BE SENDING A LETTER - see Part II for details.

Part II

After you have written in your journal for 30 days on the 31st day you will write a letter to one partner this letter will include - a)introduction of you b)Your thoughts on the five minute journal project - how you felt when you started it\ c)Conclusion thoughts - are your thoughts the same or different, how so....has the journal changed you in any way, would you continue doing one on your own.

Part III Once your letter is sent please post in the comment section of the swap whether you enjoyed the swap or not. Thanks

THERE WILL BE TIME TO PICK UP A JOURNAL OR A SUITABLE NOTE BOOK FOR THIS. You will need 30 pages for your journal or notebook. The swap is for 30 days.
