The Beauty of Gratitude

We often find ourselves worrying about the smallest of things and letting them ruin our whole day. Have you ever noticed that when something goes wrong and you get mad about it more and more negative things keep coming your way? Law of attraction is the idea that " like attracts like " that positive and negative thinking bring positive and negative physical results. So save yourself the worry wrinkles and the frown lines. Instead of worrying about that bill you have to pay, reflect on the good and celebrate your life! I've been wanting to make a gratitude journal for quite some time and November is the perfect month to do it.

GRATITUDE JOURNAL
Of course you can just use any old notebook or journal. But.. What's the fun in that? I created this little guy out of old scrapbook paper from other projects and things I had lying around the house. 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED    

• Scrapbook paper, lined paper or construction paper 
• Glue
• Hole puncher
• Ribbon or string
• Decorative items

DIRECTIONS 

• Cut out the paper into your desired shape and size and place them in the order you want them. You can mix lined paper with scrapbook paper. I even included envelopes in case my journal overflows. Get creative with it. There's no wrong or right way. Do what works for you using what you have. =)
• Line the paper up and punch three holes using your hole puncher.
• Insert ribbon or string to hold it together 
• Now start decorating! Use stickers, rhinestones, different sized paper, or even write meaningful quotes. Make it your own! 
• Lastly, don't forget to fill it up with all the people and things you appreciate

 Unearth your inner beauty with the power of gratitude. Feeling beautiful is being beautiful.
