Book of good things | positivity inspiration

Hey lovelies! Today i thought i'd share with you my "book of good things" as i keep seeing negativity all around and people being stressed with exams and such so i thought this would help inspire you to look at the things that make you happy rather than being stressed and sad. I was inspired by Kat's video which you can find here, it made me want to make my own for when i feel down or anything. I began to make it in November, now i've filled up quite a few pages i thought i'd share a few of my favourite pages. I think having something like this is good because it reminds you why to smile and be happy when you're down to flick through and add things to as the good things are endless. I find my quotes from tumblr and twitter, there aren't really specific places i find my quotes from i could happen to stumble across a positive quote on my tumblr dash and add it to my book.

 I found a little notebook with an interesting pattern on in my local The Works store and cut out a blue piece of paper and wrote Book of good things on it then stuck it on to keep it simple while also having what it is on the front cover as i have so many notebooks and don't want to confuse it with them. Also the first page in the book was plain black so i had the idea to write the date in which i started the book so later on i can look back at it and know when i wrote the good things within, when i get to the end i'll add when i finished it.

On the first page i have a list of things that make me smile, this i can come back and add more things to as time goes by. I then have lots of doodles with positive quotes that i've seen places, these ones remind you that you aren't worthless and have meaning and cheer me up when i'm feeling down. My doodles aren't the greatest but they don't have to have loads of time spent on them to make them look stunning it's more something for in the moment and they can look quite cute sometimes.

Generally i add lots of lists from tumblr as i love writing lists. I'll usually read the list then write down the ones that i relate to or change something slightly as most say drink tea and i don't drink tea so i change it to hot chocolate or coffee so it's more personal to me rather than copying it all even if it isn't true for me.

Thanks for popping by.

Stay happy!
