Lately I have been feeling a bit down and at times a bit lost. In all honesty I struggle with not going out to work and although I loved being home with Ailsa and I still do I miss the routine that having a job brings but also earning money to help support our family. Although I don't plan on going back to work anytime soon (nursery costs are just far too high for us) I do feel like I need a bit of direction at home and most of the time I do just look for the bad rather than the good. After a chat with my fabulous sister-in-law, I decided to start a gratitude journal. Something I could write down the things I am grateful for that day no matter how small they are.
It's only been a couple of days but I am already feeling a bit more positive so hopefully it will continue to grow as I fill up my little notebook. It's something I would definitely recommend doing if you are feeling a bit down or need a change in mindset in order to focus on the positive. You don't need much to start, a little notebook and a pen and off you go. I am planning to go a lot more in depth once I have a month or two under my belt and hopefully this will be something I can continue for years to come.Labels: gratitude, Gratitude journal, journal
