Happiness is pretty great, right? Right. 😊
So, what does one even journal about when everything’s good? On your happy days, you can journal about the actual joy you feel or about your accomplishments. Journaling when you’re happy is also a solid opportunity to ask yourself meaningful questions that you finally have the emotional capacity to address compared to when you’re not doing so great.
Think about what you might need on your worst days, for example, or jot down ways you want to show up for yourself more. Maybe you can even write out some of the things that are currently contributing to your fantastic mood so that you’ll have a list of ideas to try the next time you’re feeling down.
Here are 30 prompts to support your happiness.
