Week 16: Gratitude Journal

Barely There Babe

Week 16! Oh man, this past week was ah-mazing!

I didn’t realize what a difference it would make in my everyday life; writing down five simple things that I was grateful for seemed like such a small thing, but the more that I worked on it, the happier I became.

I realized how important gratitude is in our everyday lives, when I would write down the things that I was grateful for the night before, the next day I would look at the world with new eyes. I would see little things that I don’t notice on a day-to-day basis, little things that I take for granted every day, and I would look at them and see how blessed I am.

Everyday was like that, and every day I had a full heart realizing how amazing my life is, and how much I truly have. I’m so grateful for my family, my friends, my jobs, my struggles, my strengths… Looking at the world with gratitude is an amazing experience that I hope everyone tries at least once. Thanks

Week 8: C L E A N

Barely There Babe

As I’ve gotten older, the more I’ve come to realize how important our surroundings and environment can be to basically every aspect of our lies. My ablility to manage stress, work, social interactions, and even my ability to sleep well can be directly effected by my room, my home, my LIVING space. This week was all about making my environment a priority!

The To-Do List

The results weren’t necessarily surprising…but still nice to enjoy. It was easier to find peace, to get ready every day, to not have to focus on external distractions, when I needed to focus inwardly.

It was simple: if my life was organized, clean, and taken care of, all of that energy I was putting into to-do lists, and stress about my home was put elsewhere-into actually LIVING in my home. I didn’t get a lot of pictures, but I can definitely say that the difference in my home made a…well, difference.
