• Meditate On What Makes You Happy & Journal It
2020 has been a wild ride so far. It's understandable that the uncertainty and changes we are all facing in our daily lives may have you losing some sleep at night. Journaling and meditation are calming practises that are easy to work into your daily routines. Try one, or even both for 1-2 weeks and see how you feel.
FYI - You don't have to be a professional doodler to start journaling.
One simple way to start journaling is to simply create a "Yay!" List. Every night, write down anything that made you say "Yay!" during the day. Think finding hidden money in your pocket, a surprise call from a friend, sunny skies, or discovering a new local restaurant. This will help you recognize things going right in your life instead of focusing on the negative.
