When I settle down to do so, I write great and produce great articles with speed. However, I can't get the discipline to write all the time. I wish I could write all the time. Your 30 day positivity challenge idea is great. I will use it to make one more attempt to write more steadily. Francis Hello, Phil,
I write infrequently. When I settle down to do so, I write great and produce great articles with speed. However, I can’t get the discipline to write all the time. I wish I could write all the time.

Your 30 day positivity challenge idea is great. I will use it to make one more attempt to write more steadily.

I came upon this entry during a Google search for "positivity journal". I think it's an awesome idea, as the tendency for a lot of us is to dwell on the negative experiences that we go through. For some reason, we feel that focusing on them will resolve them and prevent it from happening again. This kind of attachment is a result of being identified with our judgmental selves, or mind. When I'm identified with my mind, I feel that I need a reason "why" I can feel good. I've found I can completely shift my mindset by fully accepting/welcoming/enjoying the current moment without judgment. When I allow myself to enjoy the "situation" or whatever is happening presently without needing a reason why, I always feel a powerful shift in my awareness. The Sedona Method is a great course for learning this stuff, if anything I said resonates with you. Matt Hey Phil!

I would tend to be more negative than positive, i'm always trying to think of ways to constantly remind myself not to worry or think negative, and by keeping a positivity journal, thats a good way to retrain you'r mindset!! Hope you get good results from it, looking forward to starting mine!! There you go, i am already thinking positive. Good luck. Kim.

I decided to really finish rising at 5 AM for 30 days in a row, and since I didn't do it on day 4, I decided to extend the challenge by 4-5 days. That one's really over now, and I started working on my mindset yesterday. Finding things to write in the journal every day won't be easy. Nothing special happened yesterday, so I actually had to pursue something positive so I could write it down. I decided to send a message to a friend of mine who's been having a rough time this week just to tell her that I was proud of her. That made me feel good. :) I must admit that it’s been a late start.
