What is a Positive Journal®?

There are many ways to write a journal. We may write daily, weekly, monthly, or perhaps even less. We may keep a journal to record our lives, to make sense of or work through things that happen to us, to set goals, or a mixture of all of these.

The “why” of a Positive Journal® is this: what we put on the page, we bring to life. By putting wellbeing into words, we focus on the strengths and resources that will help us make positive, practical changes in our lives.

I’m Dr Megan C. Hayes, researcher, writer, and creator of the Positive Journal method. This unique way of writing applies the research, principles, and practices of positive psychology – the science of happiness – to the self-development work we do on the pages of a journal.
