Why is my gratitude diary so important to me?
1. It's a place I feel safe to express myself and experiment with any medium.
2. I'm making a bit of history for the children. I have diaries from 1996. Some of them have very little in them, others are choc full like this one.
3. If I didn't write down what I'm grateful for everyday my mental health would be in the toilet. It's a habit that I formed to keep me sane.
4. It reduces my anxiety and stress. Instead of having negative thoughts rolling around my head, I shift my thoughts into the positive "What has been the best part of my day?"
5. It improves my sleep by calming my thoughts before bed. Switching from digital to analogue is such a good habit, especially before bed.
