My Little Red Book
Blog

It has been 60 days since I started my gratitude journal and I have found it really has made a huge impact.
Just before I go to bed at night, I write down 5 things I am grateful for - sometimes it is trivial like my air conditioner or it can be the people whom I love and cherish. What I found through this exercise, is recognising how blessed I am. Sometimes I get so caught up on what I want to achieve, I forget what I have already achieved. It helps me focus on being happy now and not always thinking my happiness will be greater in the future. It is also a great way to unwind and prepare for sleep.

I know Oprah has been doing this for decades and I can see why! To get started, all I did was buy a little notebook and put it next to my bed with a pen. I do not go to sleep without doing this - no matter how tired I am. I have even done it by torchlight when my husband has already gone to bed.
I promise that if you do this, you will feel the benefits!
