The idea of a "gratitude journal" sounds great but what do actually write in it? 🤔 I started consistently using a gratitude journal in October 2019 - and I've grown to love this practice in my morning routine. There are some days when I’m writing in my gratitude journal that I am thankful and grateful for a cup of coffee, especially right now with all the pumpkin-flavored coffee. And then there are other days when I am detailing these incredibly impactful client wins. One of the things that have helped me with gratitude is not worrying if what I’m grateful for is too big or too small. I’m building this habit of noticing the everyday things in my life – and of course, the big monumental things in my life – and making a note of what I’m thankful for. Don't worry about being profound - practice simply being grateful. What is something you are grateful for today? 
When things don't go your way - are you still grateful? Something I work on with my clients is learning how to bounce back from failure. (Because it is inevitable) I'm all about helping ambitious women reach milestones in their businesses - but to succeed we must also learn to fail. Practicing gratitude daily helps us see our failures differently. Instead of beating ourselves up, we become grateful for the opportunity to grow instead. This is the attribute of a great leader. Have you been in a situation where you felt like you failed? How did you shift your mindset to move forward?
