Train Your Brain
to Think More Positively

and ultimately grow your happiness

Thank you!

Here's the link to your free Daily Positives Journal. 

How to use your journal: Every night when you settle down for sleep, think about your day and recall three good things that happened. Write them in your journal.

By consciously reviewing good things that happened in your day, and reinforcing those thoughts by writing, you'll become better at recognizing the positive in any situation. Dwelling on the positives will help you grow the happiness in your life.

Save your journal pages because it's fun to review them every now and then..... and re-live the joy!

I'm excited to continue bringing you inspiration to explore new ideas that will move you to become your best, happy self.

Ellen
