I started my journal a few months ago and it really does have positive effect. It’s so strange that as you go through the day you start to subconsciously look out for the good things that you can be grateful for. I try to write 5 things on average but some days there are less, others many more. Instead of being miserable that it’s raining you I am now grateful that I packed my umbrella. See little things, big difference.

Well, I’ve just finished my second year so it’s scary to think that this time next year I will be done (fingers crossed). After a shaky start and trying one course that I didn’t like and taking a year out I am so motivated to complete it and complete it well. I want this more than anything. The last year is obviously going to be the toughest work wise. I’m already dreading the dissertation. But I’m going to try and stay positive and motivated to succeed.

But it can’t hurt to be more conscious of it, right? There is a lot of sadness in this world but also a lot of good people. I think that it’s quite powerful how we could all do something that may seem small and insignificant to us, but could leave someone else feeling positive for hours. I have just finished my second year of uni and I sent a quick thank you email to three of my most inspiring lecturers, I just wanted to make them know that their hard work throughout the year does not go unnoticed. It doesn’t have to cost money either. Free happiness. Excellent stuff.
