5 minute journal - life changing!

Lately I've been really resentful towards my husband. Since the baby was born almost 5 months ago, my life has transformed from carefree and spontaneous, to strict schedules and sleepless nights. I've watched my husband have time for working out and watching tv while I've felt stuck with breastfeeding the baby and doing laundry.

I recently discovered the 5 minute journal. You do a portion when you wake up and then again before bed. The journal helps me focus on the positive in my life, like how my husband does his share of the housework: the dishes, mowing the lawn, paying the bills. I was only focusing on him having free time that I didn't see how he contributes. Also I've been able to focus on the positive aspect of spending one on one time with my baby while breastfeeding and having me-time while folding laundry. I was able to appreciate the ability to breastfeed and having clothes to fold. And I've seen how I have free time to enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend while my husband watches the baby.

I was so caught up in day to day life that I wasn't appreciating what I do have. This journal allows me to focus on the positive rather than the negative. I hope my daughter sees the difference in her mother who appreciates life rather than complaining about stupid things and ruins the mood of the household. I've noticed that my baby is happier when I'm happier.

I wanted to make this post because this journal has really been life changing for me. The cost of the actual hardcover journal is kind of expensive but there is a free android app and a $5 IOS app. Totally worth the $5!

I hope this helps you ladies...day to day life can be so challenging sometimes but if we take a few moments to appreciate what we do have, it makes all the difference.
