I wanted to write a simple journal entry today following a prompt, but often the journal prompts I use are quite big and require you to dig quite deep.
Then I came across this one, which suited me just fine. A simple list worked for me, but really got me thinking about the lovely things in life.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
>>> Prompt:
Take a fresh page in your journal. Create the heading ‘Happiness Is…’ at the top of the page.
Write whatever comes to mind, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem. If it brings a smile to your face, or a feeling of joy, then add it to the list.
You could write this as a list or do it as a mindmap. You could also do this as a visual prompt and create a collage of images from magazines, or draw pictures.
Here are some of mine:
- A hot cup of coffee
- New stationery
- Sleeping in late
- Laughing with friends
- A good book
- Traveling
- Playing with art supplies
- Journaling
- Being in nature
- Puppy cuddles
- Good music
- Butterflies
- Afternoon naps
I could easily fill a page with all the little things I love in life. I like this because it makes me think of the tiny things that bring me joy, and whenever I’m feeling low I can look back at this list and do one of the little things to pick me up. Even just reading what I have written makes me smile.
What is happiness for you?
