How to Keep a Gratitude Journal

Start a daily practice of writing down all of the things you are grateful for. When you write in your journal, don't dwell on things that went wrong. Focus on the positive aspects of your day or week, even when you have to dig hard to find something. Writing down what you are grateful for can truly change your life as it brings your focus to the miracles everywhere around us. It might take a while for you to notice the effect, but you'll soon be seeing faster change in your life because we tend to move towards what we're focusing on.

This exhibition celebrates The 1000 Journals Project, an ongoing collaborative and participatory experiment that follows 1,000 blank journals as they journey around the world. Each journal is stamped with a message inviting participants to draw, paste, rip, or write on its pages, and then pass it on when finished. Exchanged by friends and strangers or left in bus shelters and other unexpected places, the books have accumulated a rich tapestry of stories, drawings, and personal reflections. Collectively, the journals have traveled to more than 40 countries and all 50 states. Co-curated by anonymous project creator Someguy and Stephanie Pau of the SFMOMA Education Department, this presentation features a selection of journals that have returned to San Francisco. In keeping with the spirit of the project, journals and art supplies will be available to visitors, offering an open invitation to participate in this exciting social-art experiment.

Sometimes we all need a little encouragement to start writing on a pristine white
sheet of paper. It feels just too intimidating to boldly make our mark. The answer
to this quandary is to get a journal that makes it all ok; The "Wreck This Journal"
Journal.
