Follow The Good Feeling Journal | Hardcover Bound Notebook

$29.00
I had spent so long trying to care about everyone else's feelings that I forgot I was allowed to have my own wants.

"You must be selfish enough to care how you feel."
This is an Abraham Hicks teaching.

They also say you can't get there from here. You can't jump from despair to joy in one leap. You just have to find the next best feeling — something you can reach. Something that feels true. Not forcing yourself to think positive. Just noticing what feels better than the last thought.

She talks about milking a good feeling. Marinating in it. Letting it grow. She says if you can hold a thought for 16 or 17 seconds, you start building momentum. So I think about the Oregon coast. The sand in my toes. The cold water chasing my heels. The salty air. We've been there before, so it's easy for me to recall. I let myself sit in that feeling as long as it feels good.

When I feel the pinch — the moment my thoughts slip into lack — I try to catch it. That's the practice. Not forcing myself to be positive. Just noticing the pinch and choosing something else to think about.
And when I want something — a new car, a better house, a trip to the beach — Abraham says to think about what you want and why you want it. Not the lack of it. The good feeling of having it. The safety, the freedom, the joy of getting where you need to go. I want a trip to the coast because it feels good to imagine my son's face when he sees the ocean. Because I want to feel the sand with my family. That's the feeling I'm after.

Louise Hay taught that we've been bullying ourselves for years, and that maybe we could try something different. But I couldn't get there right away. I had to feel my anger first. I had to learn to notice what I was feeling before I could shift it.

This journal is for that practice. For writing down what feels good. For noticing when I’m bracing, and asking if I can soften instead. For following the feeling that leads somewhere better — even if it's just a small step.

The pages are blank because you don't need prompts. You just need space to follow your own feeling.
Thank you for looking. Thank you for caring how you feel. 🐦‍⬛

The truth is, you don't need MY journal. You just need a blank page. Whether it's this one, a spiral notebook from the dollar store, or even a password-protected document on your phone — what matters is that you have a place to let it out.
I made these for fun. I thought they turned out cute, and I figured someone else might want one too. But if you take nothing else from this, take this: you are allowed to have a place for your rage, your grief, your inner child, your softness, your dreams, your truth. However you hold it, hold it somewhere.
If you're looking in the mirror, or writing to the little one inside, or just trying to feel your feelings without apologizing for them — you're already doing the work. The journal is just one place to put it.
Thank you for looking. 
Thank you for being willing to feel it.
