How Are You Feeling Today is an interactive Self-Discovery Journal which enables you to answer that question by getting in touch with your feelings and emotions.
Doing this is really important - when we feel good, we can conquer the world, but...when we feel bad, many times we just want to crawl into bed. Our feelings and emotions Shape Our Day - Shape Our World!
I created this journal to help you discover the reasons for how you feel - what things (people, events) in your life make you feel good or bad and why. This can be done by defining the reasons and seeing a pattern. This journal is unique because the entries are made by emotion, not by chronological date, so negative issues become more apparent and the positive areas of our life also become more defined.
Included in the journal are:
- 142 Pages and 21 Sections, each consisting of 7 Positive Emotions, 7 Negative Emotions 6 Blank Sections for expansion, and a special Happy Moments Section along with Guidelines and Tips on how you can make the most of using this journal.
- Each Section is designated by a full coloring page (therapeutic art to calm and relax) and a relevant inspirational quote page, with room to add a few of your own favorite quotes plus four full lined journaling pages.
- Also, in each Section, a wise little bird named "Emo" has some really good tips and prompts to help you along on your self-discovery journey.
- The journal cover is high-gloss with vibrant colors, and there are fun matching Journaling Reminders (also sold on Amazon) to encourage journaling. The How Are You Feeling Today? Journal makes a unique and thoughtful gift for all ages including teens.
For me, as an artist, I loved creating this unique kind of Journal/Coloring Book - but my purpose is to give you a powerful tool to become better in touch with your feelings and emotions to create positive change. This will ultimately lead to a greater degree of peace and happiness in your life. That is my wish for you.
About the Author: Writing books has been a lifetime goal of mine - on the "top of the bucket list" you might say. I told my cousin I was creating this book and she said "You have been telling me that as long as I can remember". Over the years, my path has taken me in a somewhat different direction.
My passion has always been creativity - all my life I have been a self-employed entrepreneur involved in the arts. It all started with Sesame Street - one of my sons loved Oscar and the other's favorite was Ernie. The characters weren't available to buy at that time so I created them. The local toy store asked if they were for sale and my first business was born. It eventually grew into a cottage industry business specializing in seasonal décor with 14 employees. I created all the designs, eventually started designing lines for manufacturers and ultimately opened a store - which I enjoyed very much.
As time passed, I felt a need for more hands on creativity and fell in love with lampworking - the art of making glass beads. It was almost magical to take a rod of glass and turn it into a tiny work of art. Because I created my own beads, I have been able to design unique, one of a kind jewelry. This, eventually took me to Hawaii and gave me the opportunity to experience life in "Paradise" for six years, meet people from all over the world who purchased my jewelry designs, and my life partner in love and adventure who took me on yet another journey.
That journey has brought me back to my "bucket list" goal - to write and create books. In my life, it has been important to help people - I seem to have been the one that people call when they are having a problem. Those experiences have inspired me to create this self-discovery journal, the first in a series of "Feel Good" books. I want to help as many people as I can to find peace and happiness in their lives.
