Journaling Prompts: Positive Thinking
Study after study shows that how we think about an action impacts how we perform it. Motorcyclists are taught, when riding around a curve, never to stare at the guardrail. Always to look further down the curved road. If they stare at the guardrail, then tend to drive into it. Our bodies tend to go where our mind points them.
If you are pointing your body with negative thoughts, thoughts of failure, that is where you will tend to go. If you look at that basketball shot and think to yourself, “I can never make this,” then it’s probably true. Basketball players at the foul line envision that ball going up and in with a clean swish.
It’s all about your mind. Train your mind with positive, focused belief, and the rest will follow.
This set of 32 prompts takes you through a full month of working through positive thinking challenges, plus a bonus day as a treat. Invest a month in focusing on your mental state. On building a habit of positive thinking which will sustain you throughout whatever challenges and dreams you face.
This book assumes that you’ve done some journaling and understand the basics. If you need help with any journaling topics, I have a 160-page free ebook Journaling Basics - Journal Writing for Beginners which is available on all major platforms. If it hasn’t rolled out free on the one you’re using yet, please contact me and I’ll find a way to get a copy to you.

The book was a lot shorter than I expected. There are 32 'prompts', which is made clear in the cover copy, so there's a prompt a day for a month. It's just the book finishes at 41%. The remainder of the book is about the author, other books by the author, and a preview of a novel by the author. This is a psychological thing. Even though the book delivers what it states - and it cost under a dollar, so it's not like it's expensive - I still feel kind of aggrieved when a book finishes so far before the end like this. I don't think of it as being bonus material, I think of it as being filler.
But more importantly, I was disappointed with the prompts, because I don't think of most them as being journaling prompts at all. They're more suggestions for actions to add positivity to your life e.g. exercise, smile, volunteer, breathe deeply, laugh, thank three people during your day, wear a bracelet and snap yourself when you find yourself complaining, create a reward tracker etc etc.
So yeah, I feel bad rating lowly, because it cost a dollar! And I did enjoy a couple of the earlier prompts, like listing my successes "no matter how small." I love the idea of positive journaling prompts. But overall there weren't enough of these, and they were very simplistic.
So, yeah, sorry :( but I do not recommend.
I'm rating a 1.5 star, rounding up so I don't feel like as much of a bitch.
