A Diary of Delights - Cultivate a Positive Outlook

Diary of Delights

You must WRITE THEM DOWN and they must be different each day, so you will need to keep a record to look back on.

They can be sights, sounds, people, places, smells, tastes, feelings, - they MUST be POSITIVE.

For example today I noticed:

1. a vibrant shade of lime green - one tree that stands out from the rest
2. a tiny bird as it wings its way somewhere - above our crowded and cluttered human existence
3. the call of a bird in the back garden of the house - above the noise of a passing car. How does it do that I ask myself?
4. the smell of the fragrant orange blossom as it wafts through the open window
5. a memory come to mind of walking through bluebell woods

You may begin to notice ....all those things that you forget...those things you take for granted...as you notice how relaxed and happy you are becoming.

In the beginning you will probably want to write a simple list e.g. tree, bird, birdcall, flower scent, memory.

If you really don't know where to start, then work through your 5 senses and include inner feelings and observations too.

The secret to making the process more powerful is to embellish your description to notice what it is that brings it to your attention and how it makes you feel.

How did you get on?
What changes did you notice?
Remember to write them in your diary too!
