Private mindfulness journal swap

This swap is meant for people who love writing, art, and just being adventurous! The point of the swap is to exchange positivity from different parts of the world.

For this swap you should have a A5 size notebook/diary (15cmx20cm or around those dimensions). You should fill the book with 25 of the following topics. Each topic should cover at least 2 sides.

In addition, please also write 5 recipes: 2 dessert, 2 main course and 1 appetiser =)! The swap questions are as follows:

1. Describe what you see right now as you write your journal
2. What’s that “something” that’s been on your mind lately and what keeps it in your mind?
3. What do you believe in (karma, magic, art, love. Keep this non-religious please)? Draw/doodle it
4. If magic were around you or in you, what would it look like, feel like, taste like, smell like, sound like?
5. Stick a photo of someone you met today. What did y’all talk about? What did you learn from them?
