When I was little, my mom bought me a journal. It wasn’t cheap, but I wanted it badly- so she made me a deal. If she bought it for me, then every day I would have to make a list of three things that I was happy about that day. I kept to my promise & did it every single day, and I love looking back at it & seeing all of the things that made me happy!

i recently discovered the Tom’s of Maine Good First application on Facebook which encourages you to answer the question “What did you put first today that made you feel especially good?” You can choose from five general topics that reflect Tom’s of Maine’s core belief in healthy, human and environmental goodness.  As a fun bonus, after you select your answer, the application will show you which of your friends selected the same topic & share your passion!

It’s not exactly the same as the “things that made you happy” thing I did as a kid, but I still love it because it makes you really think about your actions of the day & what you did to support the well being of animals, the environment, others, or yourself.

I played around with the app {of course choosing helping animals as they are always the cause that tugs at my heartstrings} & it was so easy to use the app! It showed me the options of what I put first {you have the choice between Mother Earth, Healthy Living, Helping People, Healthy Eating, and Helping Animals}, I selected Helping Animals, it gave me the option to share, and then I saw my other friends who selected the same thing. It was that simple! &It was fun seeing who else was using the app and shared my love of animals.

I picked animals today because I love animals, but tomorrow I plan on picking something that I actually worked toward putting first. I don’t know what that will be yet, but the app has me actively thinking about things that I can do to put those five great things first!

Be sure to like Tom's of Maine on Facebook to use the app, and then make sure you follow Tom's of Maine on Twitter & Tom's of Maine on Pinterest!

Which of the five things did you put first today? Do you have any ideas to share with the community on how to put any of those five things first?
