Learning Challenge: Happiness Jar
So, I did the week of happiness jar, where you write one good thing that happened each day in the week and placed it in a jar to read later. I really enjoyed this challenge, because not only did it make me focus and delight in the good things throughout my week, but I didn't focus on the stuff that was bad. It was also beneficial because sometimes I even forgot about the small little good things that happened in my week because it has been such a hectic past week. I hope to do this exercise/ challenge other weeks this year to help me refocus on the good and not be so stressed out.

Hi Julianna,
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great idea! I actually want to try it. I think it is really important to pay attention and be grateful for the little things that happen in our lives. It is so easy to be overwhelmed by school and work and all of the stressors that happen, but it is important to sit back and allow positive vibes to comfort you in times of distress.
This really reminds me of the gratitude journal, where you spend a little time each day journaling about what you're thankful for. I'm thankful for the "Famous Last Words" assignment in this class because it functions like a mini-journal for me...(well, that and my Twitter). I honestly like to scroll back through and see what I was thinking on any given day. I guess it could be a "Happiness Timeline."
ReplyDeleteHey Julianna! This seems like a really cool idea. It's great to try and focus on the good things in your life instead of the bad. I think that keeping tract to see the small good things that sometimes get lost in the shuffle is a great idea! I'll have to try this at some point to see how it changes my week.
