Five Minute Journal – I used to journal when I was younger and I have read over and over again about the benefits of journaling and knew I wanted to start up again. I also had heard and read a lot about having a more purpose driven journal – like a blessing or gratitude journal. One day on Amazon (surprise) I came across the Five Minute Journal, and after a little reading, I decided to take the plunge with this one. Just a few minutes in the morning to set intentions and plan and in the evening to reflect. So far I have loved it! I even bought the companion app so I could continue when I didn’t have the book. Do you journal? I’d love to hear about it!
Podcast of the Week – I love love love Marie Forleo and really enjoyed this chat with Dan Buettner on the Blue Zones of happiness. A very different perspective and actually kind of the opposite of my daily journalling philosophy!
