Passage 5
Experiencing joy is good for your health. It protects you from illness and reduces pain and stress. Joy spreads quickly, benefiting not only you but also those around you.
A joy journal is a special place for you to record anything that brings you joy. It's your journal, so you can put whatever you like in it. Taking time to make a note of what's giving you joy helps you pay attention to that experience and get even more happiness from it.
Your joy journal can help you remember happier times when you are feeling sad, lonely, or worried. Turning the pages can help those same feelings of joy flood back, making you feel better. It can remind you that this moment will pass and joy will come again soon.
How do you keep a joy journal? Choose a notebook and decorate the cover. It is up to you how often you add to it—perhaps every day after school or only at the weekend. You can keep all your joyful things together or divide your journal into areas such as family, friends, school, and hobbies. You can write, draw, use colourful pens and stick things in. In your joy journal, you can write lists of your favourite things: your favourite foods, TV shows, or animals, and what you like about them. You can record a moment from each day that gave you joy: who was there, what happened, and what you could see, hear and smell. This will help you feel the joy again and remember it more easily. You could also make a joy journal with your family to record what makes you all happy.
