Question What to do with this tiny journal?
Finally got to open the notebook therapy lucky myth gift box and inside was - among many other fine things - this sweet little journal! Now what do I do with this? Do any of you have such small journals and what do you use them for?

Gratitude journal? It would just be a list of one or two things per day.
I'm supposed to do a "1-3 characteristics i like about myself" each day and it can't include lots of qualifiers (e.g., "I like that I am a good communicator but only when I'm speaking you someone bc my text messages are a mess," isn't allowed, it gas to stop at communicator. Period.
A small book like that would make the accomplishment or gratitude item look like a bigger accomplishment.
Keeping lists, in general, is what I see.
-Lists of media you want to consume and/or that you finished, e.g., books, movies, magazines, music, etc.
-To do lists, shopping lists, etc.
-Lists of accomplishments. This can be big, e.g., work projects and home repairs. It could also be small items that you just never do, e.g., tightening the screws on the door plate so they don't catch. It could even just be as simple as you managed to get up, you managed to shower, etc. When I am highly depressed my therapist insists on celebrating even the slightest thing when doing even that is more than I can handle.
Lists of places you want to go, like that new restaurant that you saw next to your favorite coffee place or a vacation 2,000 miles away.
I'm sorry. My brain is getting carried away. You probably have lists and now you just get to figure out if you want to write them in that adorable notebook.
