Journaling

Background

This exercise involves keeping a daily record - for the next four weeks - of your thoughts and reflections on the events that happened each day. In particular, you will find it useful to reflect on the various concepts discussed in the book, and whether and to what extent the happiness exercises worked for you.

Objective

Maintaining a journal is very useful for a number of reasons, including reflecting on which of the happiness exercises were most useful to you.

Please provide an email address to which your journal can be emailed at the completion of the exercise.

Please enter your reflections on the day's events and experiences. Don't feel pressured to make a long entry, or to make the entry look good (or read well). All you are trying to do is to maintain a record of what happened today, and how you felt about it. You can also try to “make sense” of the events and experiences—what you learned and how you are going to apply these learnings in the future.
