Upgrade Your May: Day 8 - Awareness, Gratitude Journal 2 & A Guided Mediation

Upgrade Your May: Day 8 - Awareness

Hellooo and welcome to Day 8 of Upgrade Your May! Today I took another look at my podcast with the lovely Millie about all the amazing things she is doing with her life. And we get to hear from her proud Dad too, it was so great to catch up with them both.

Today's upgrade is the next page of your gratitude journal. It's pretty similar to last week but it serves as a nice aide to encourage you to make a point of printing something out, and mindfully filling it in. You can of course use your own journal or notebook. It really is all about what works for you.

7 Day Gratitude Journal

How did you get on with last weeks? No matter how many you did, grab it now and pick your favourites. What about those moments stuck out for you? Where were you? How did you feel? How can you make more moments like that happen? 

Think carefully about those moments, really turn them around in your mind and allow yourself to feel the gratitude for them happening. 

If you haven't had a chance to try it yet, I do highly encourage trying a gratitude journal. Multiple studies have shown that focusing more each day on the things that brought you joy can genuinely make you feel happier, calmer, sleep better, and make the not-so-nice things seem smaller. It sounds like magic, and maybe it is, but I swear by it. 

As a little bonus I've added below my little 3 Minute Upgrade gratitude guided meditation from the banks of the Thames recently. So if you think you need a little boost, and encouragement with feeling more gratitude, give that a little go. It's downloadable too, so if you want to save it for later, please feel free!

Sometimes all it takes is 3 minutes. ​

​Why not leave a comment below, drop me an email, or head back to the social media that linked you here and leave a comment on how you got on. Any questions are also very welcome! 

Thanks for joining me for Day 8, I hope you found it interesting!

See you tomorrow!
