JOURNALING ON THE 'BAD DAYS' On some days writing in your beauty journal will be easy, other days it will feel really hard and might be the last thing you want to do. If writing in your beauty journal is only something you see yourself doing on 'good days' you are missing out on the powerful part of learning, appreciating, and growing on the bad days by using this journal.
There are ways of seeing the beauty in what your mind considers 'bad'. The Beauty Journal uses a process called the 5R's of Reflection to recognize and uncover the hidden blessings found in every situation. An 'R method' can be used to notice the good, even on the hard & difficult days. It's not about suppressing your negative thoughts, it's about reprogramming your mind to transform these negative thoughts into solutions to learn and grow.
We all have the ability to change our perspective and point-ofview around any situation. But sometimes our mental & emotional reactions are so habitual that we don't know how to look at something from a new perspective. As the world-renowned life coach & author Wayne Dyer once said, "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
The R method will help you look at your situation in a better light. It will help you recognize healthy ways of dealing with life's most difficult challenges. If you write in your Beauty Journal daily, even on the challenging days, you will begin to face & solve your problems, and will begin to look at life in a whole new way.
It starts by committing to the 5R's of Self-Reflection.
