Sunday’s Synaptics meeting featured two lightning talks that explored positive psychology and one’s identity and purpose.
In Judy’s lightning talk, she shared the practice of the Five Minute Journal (5MJ), a journaling system from the startup Intelligent Change. The intent of the 5MJ is to start the day with gratitude and positive intentions, and to end it with reflection. The 5MJ starts the morning asking for three simple things: what are you grateful for, what would make your day great, and daily affirmations. It is an opportunity to start the morning with a mindful intention that sets the tone for the day.
