Dear Wellness Seekers,

Spanista Happiness Journal Update Delivers Surprising Blessings is an update on what is resulting thus far from my simple yet focused daily journal entry. Thought you might enjoy hearing the personal discoveries that have unfolded thus far..

As a refresher, I thought it would be a productive Self Care Practice to focus in on one thing that made me happy everyday. The thought stemming from the mantra – ‘What you focus on most multiplies and manifests in your life”.  So in January, I set out to capture in writing one daily thing – a thought, feeling, experience or otherwise.

Here’s learnings on Spanista Happiness Journal exercise so far:

~  Taking a moment to reflect on the happy moment of the day is truly therapeutic in a good way by creating emotional wellness.

~ It is particularly beneficial to capture the thought before bedtime. Funny thing is I seem to be resting better as I have tried to center my brain on this happy thought as I slip into sleep.

~ The act of writing the happiness memory helps you crystallize the goodness of it – the source, the experience, the benefit.

~ And then comes the natural flow of gratitude for it all. You realize the scales are balanced in your favor.

Spanista Takeaway: Spanista Happiness Journal Update Delivers Surprising Blessings has been worth the time and energy. The outcomes have been fun to watch. So far here is what I want to share: The day unfolds in search of joy so therefore I seem to attract more of it. Somedays I argue with myself about which one gets to the to be in the journal. Funny. The form of happiness can change drastically from day-to-day. Right now I am resisting seeking any patterns. I am letting the journey carry me.

Here is one example: Recently I stopped by a deli in our Hyde Park neighborhood for a quick lunch. While I was waiting for the yummy hand crafted sandwich, I walked into the wine boutique which is small but well curated. Some one has both taste and a sense of humor. Of course I had a good laugh when I read the sign but was also inspired to buy a bottle to make a fresh salmon dish with pasta that night. That message set me in a good mood, to cook  and that brought about a fun. lovely dinner at home with my hubby and me. The highlight of the day for many reasons that will go unmentioned.
