Day 153 - The diary of good things and why it matters (1,000 days content creation challenge)

My daughter shared with me how she had started the diary of good things. She received the idea from her friend at school. This also reminded me of the value of having great friends. The influence can be great if friends are of high quality and the reverse is true.

What it is

It's simply a place where you record what is good in your life, career and business.

Why it's important

Keeping a record of good things keeps you in a positive mood which is not only great for your health but also mindset. This eventually also results in positive outcomes showing up in your life.

Some people love keeping a record of wrongs and this lowers self esteem, increases negativity and leads to chances of bad things happening in one's life.

How to do it

Every day, pause for 2-5 minutes and pull up your diary of good things, think and record the following…

What is good in your life/career/business?

What are you truly grateful for? (for example, I Am grateful for this great idea from my daughter )

What is making you happy right now?

Looking back, what are you proud of?

Plus any other positive and uplifting record or experience that will raise your mood

What next?

Get a diary and strictly reserve it for recording positive things.

Create a time to record the positive things. Ideally it should be a consistent time frame such that it becomes a routing

Keep it going and watch your life look and feel better.
