What if you spent one hour a week for the next 3 weeks working on bringing in new business to replace the the income you make from that client, and figure out a way to end the contract in a very respectful, classy way to hopefully make the odds of them making a stink minimal? Benefits of Journaling for Mental Health (5 Science-Based Benefits of Journaling for Anxiety and Depression)) | Holstee You don’t need to change EVERYTHING in your life all at once (it doesn’t work anyway, trust me, I’ve tried).

In my experience, if you struggle to fill in the lines, it is best to sometimes leave them blank. However, make sure to write down at least one thing, irrespective of how small it was. Sometimes, the experience of drinking a cup of tea, within the right context, can be filled with joy. Write that down. Improving your dayBoth the morning and evening sections of the journal are important, but it is the second one where you get to evaluate your day, find out your commitment to prioritization, productivity, and overall wellbeing. Listing the amazing things that happened Write down these questions in your journal and answer them one at a time–permission to be 100% honest granted: Choose a prompt: Look for a prompt that resonates with you or sparks your interest. You can either create your own prompts or find them online. The last exercise in the notebook, and the last one I will review separately in this 5 minute journal review, is the two-line reflection of your day, where you list ways in which it could have been better.
