As we manage through further lockdowns, social isolation, and the the dark days of winter, finding ways to stay positive and resilient can be tough.
Let me offer you a simple one: 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚.
Every day, take time to reflect on three things you are grateful for. It can be as simple as the cup of coffee you have in the morning before work, a new notebook, or the fact that it’s not raining!
At the end of every day, take time to reflect on three amazing things that happened today. It could be a nice text you got from a friend, a super schooling session with your horse, or some great feedback your boss gave you in work.
Having done this over the last six weeks consistently, I have found that I see more positives than negatives, I am more grateful for what I have than worrying about what I don’t have, and I find it easier to accept and be ok with bad days, as I know more good is coming.
You can try just one of these habits to start, or both. Do it whatever way works for you. I use an app called the ‘Five Minute Journal’.
This morning, I am grateful for my two wonderful horses (how gorgeous is this picture?!), the fact that my barista is still open for my morning coffee, and that I have my boyfriend working at home with me every day now
