Journaling my way to happiness
I have a beautiful gratitude journal. It was sent to me by a beautiful friend.
Unfortunately, it’s still beautifully blank, because what if I write the wrong thing?
Yes, really. This is how my mind works. Or doesn’t work, depending on how you look at it. You could consider a state of anxiety, a requirement for an undefined perfection so great that it prevents action as being non functional I think.
So the idea that somehow I can journal my way to happiness has so far been a bit of a non starter.
But I do have a blog. (Several in fact, but I’m talking about this one right now.) It’s been very impersonal recently, because I’ve been struggling to work out what personal things I can put into words.
So here are my gratitudes.
I am grateful for time. And space. Sky. Books. And friends.

I laughed when I read your first bit, not in a bad way, but because I’d be the same. Xx
I 100% understand this feeling. You are so not alone. Have you thought about getting the photos/words/etc that you think you might want to use and laying them out on a page first, moving them about to see what works, collage style, maybe even Washi tape them in so that you can reposition them later if you change your mind?
I have a gratitude journal as well. It is a five year journal and I have space for six lines each day. I’m on the 4th year so I don’t have the doubts about writing any more as the pages are almost full ,but I do remember having similar thoughts the first year. My advice is to just start and feel grateful for the blank book, that you can create it into what you want and all the wonderful things it will hold once you’ve completed it.
