Create A Time Capsule
Published
It is day 3 of the FulFILL Your Cup challenge, powered by CeraVe.
There’s a surprising amount of joy we can find in the mundane. This isn’t joy you find during your day-to-day, but a happiness that appears down the road. Strangely enough, research shows that rediscovering ordinary experiences can be an unexpected and unusual way to help you fill your cup.
So, grab a notebook, a blank piece of paper, or open a document on your computer. Title it with today’s date and the words “Time Capsule.” Then, recount something that happened to you today or something that’s on your mind. It might be:
File your time capsule away, then put a reminder on your calendar to come back to it in a few months. You might be surprised at how much rereading your time capsule makes you smile. And it will be interesting to see how your life has changed since you created it.
Try doing this every now and then when you feel inspired. Taking a few moments to note what’s going on in your life can reap unexpected rewards. Feel free to create another time capsule whenever you wish.
Share a piece of your time capsule with us in the updates section here, in our private Facebook group, or on Twitter, or Instagram. Tag us with #healthynurse.

- A short description of the most recent social event you attended
- A recent conversation with a loved one
- A description of how you met a new friend
- The names of three songs you recently listened to that you enjoyed
- An inside joke you love
- A recent status update you posted on social media
- An excerpt from a recent paper or project for school or work
