GRIT in Five โ€” Day 28
Food for Thought

Give yourself a little bit of self love today and notice how spending time with yourself, quality, valuable time, reflecting, is an act of self love. When you love yourself, you feel that connection. It is simply incredible.

For those of you thinking, oh dear, reflection means journaling, I hate journaling, I hear you. When you are used to being busy, ticking the boxes and on the hamster wheel, slowing down is uncomfortable.

But it is so good and there is so much research to back this.

Today you are going to put on some calming meditation or journaling music, take out a journal or something you can actually write with, not your phone. This is a written activity.

Thank you for the way you…
Thank you for how you always…
Thank you for never giving up on…
Part Two ยท I See That You Have…
List the qualities you see in yourself. Be specific. Let yourself really see what is true.

Quality time is a great way to grow this muscle.

Self Love
Today’s move: reach out to three people you love or are close to and ask them to give you feedback on what they love most about you. Read what they say and really take it in and notice how others see you.
Letter, Written.

Come back tomorrow as we jump into week 5!
