Today we are discussing how to value yourself beyond social media.

53: How Gratitude Journaling Can Change Your Life
Hey Loves, Welcome Back To The Look On The Bright Side Podcast. I've Got A Story To Tell.
It starts with a pandemic, a house "full of folks," and a creative entrepreneur named Jenell. Spoiler alert: the story involves chaos.
But with chaos comes lessons that lead to a happy "ier" place. In this episode, I share how I find my happy place daily by making gratitude journaling part of my daily habits.
I want to share this tool with you to create daily habits that lead you to look on the bright side.
Episode Highlights:
- [00:09:14] Discover what gratitude journaling is
- [00:11:01] The science of gratitude and its positive effects
- [00:12:56] How to literally get "high" off positivity
- [00:16:59]Get a sneak peek of my highly requested gratitude journal/planner for work, life, & fitness
- [27:30] How to join me on Patreon for The Gratitude Challenge
Takeaways:
- Life isn't perfect for me, you, or Beyoncé'. As creative business owners, we will have challenges which is why I share daily habits that will help you Look On The Bright Side.
- In the beginning stages of our businesses, relationships, etc., we tend to show gratitude for every moment and opportunity. Once those blessings require work to maintain, do we become less grateful for them?
- Opportunities to be grateful are all around us. They can be big or small. They show up in acts of service from "bae" or expressed as words of affirmations from our babies. Actively seek opportunities to both give and receive gratitude.
