Little Things that Mean a Lot - Free Printable Journal Page Roundup

Next up in our journal page roundup: the little things that mean a lot.

This is one of my all-time favourite journal prompts. It feels especially relevant now, when so many of the big parts of our days are upside down and inside out. Zooming in and noticing some of the smaller moments and their outsize impacts can be a quick and easy way to brighten an otherwise gloomy day.

If you’d like to journal along with me, you can download this page by clicking on the image above or by visiting my collection of printable prompts.

Here’s my list of little things that mean a lot today:

  1. Finding the words to start. There’s this one section of a piece I’m working one that just hasn’t been coming together. Today I finally wrote one sentence that sets the right tone, i.e. not mind-numbingly boring. It’s just one sentence, but it made all the difference.

  2. A conversation out in the neighbourhood. It wasn’t a deep discussion, just quick chitchat as we passed each other on the roadside, but it felt so good to share breezy observations, even at a distance. Just about skipped all the way home.

  3. Colourful pens and paper. So bright and instantly happy making. Bring on the colour!

How about you? What little parts of your day today mean a lot to you? If you’d like a little inspiration for your list-making, here’s a newsletter I wrote about stretching beyond the usual items on your list.
