New Years Resolution: Daily Routine

This year I resolved to focus on bettering my outlook on life. I know, it’s broad. But, it gave me the flexibility to change up my approach throughout the year instead of deciding on a particular behavior I wanted to adopt and feeling bad when I gave up three weeks in.

I never thought I had a negative outlook in general, but given the stressors I deal with day-to-day, I thought the focus on maintaining a positive frame of mind would be beneficial.

So, I have adopted a few daily habits I wanted to try out through January and I’m really enjoying one in particular. Everyday, I take a picture to represent my day and think of 5 things I’m grateful for. I keep track of it on my phone and look back on the week every so often. Sometimes I put down something deep and thought provoking, but often it’s something benign that made me smile during the day.

It’s kind of a personal thing for me, but seeing how it’s going so far, I’m enjoying the reflection at the end of the day and wanted to share .
