The Creative Notebook

First, here’s a link to download a free guided meditation on gratitude.  I haven’t listened to it yet, but I downloaded it for later today when everyone is full of turkey and settling down for a nap. 

Now, the Ultimate Thankful Thursday.  Read the rest of this entry »

Coming soon to our site:

A free downloadable ebook of prompts to enhance and encourage your creative journal writing and visual journaling And………

Two e-courses: gratitiude journaling-creating love and abundance in your life through thankfulness and journaling 101–a free mini course to get you started journal writing and visual journaling each day.

And CrossRoads: words and images come together in art, art journals, and visual journaling. This zine will be published quarterly and we are currently seeking submissions of visual journaling, art containing both words and images, and stories and articles about how creativity has transformed your life, helped you through a hard time, or enriched your day to day life. Send questions and submissions to editor@creativenotebook.com. The first issue will pay in a half page of advertising space and subsequent issues we hope to pay in advertising space and a little cash.

Sometimes we all get so bogged down in the daily stresses and anxieties of life that we tend to focus too much on the negative in our life.

Today, date the top of your page and number from one to ten. Write down ten things you have to be grateful for this week. It doesn’t matter how trivial it seems. Even if the best thing that happened was your morning cup of coffee, put it down.

You’ll be surprised because the more you do this the more you’ll find you have to be thankful for. It may be a struggle at first, but it will help you see what you do have versus what you don’t.

Please feel free to put your list in the comments section, or add a link to your thankful thursday on your blog.
