I use journaling everyday to keep me out of my old limiting thinking patterns and to bring more gratitude into my life. &nbsp;It's also a tool I recommend all my coaching clients use as well as it's such a simple, pragmatic and gentle way to see shifts in your life. &nbsp;Autobiographical writing has been around since we discovered we could use an implement to memorialise our days, stories and cultural narratives and it's scientifically proven to play a huge role in bringing wellness back into someone’s life - social, emotional, physical and mental wellness.When I talk about wellness I mean holistic wellness - like including how to talk to yourself not just a well body. &nbsp;We are born healthy generally however we are born into a world where low and limiting self talk and judgement is supposedly the norm and a way to motivate ourselves ! This does not sit well with me and the first month or so I work with anyone they require a crash course in how any judgements are destructive to us, and the world around us and tools to start them creating a growth mindset.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are trained to analyse everything that we see or experience and because our brains come from a more threatened bias - meaning they look for and notice threats before they see the stuff that is working well or we could be grateful for - they see things are wrong before they see things to be grateful for. Because of this wiring, which some people call a negative bias, we have to consciously train our brains to see things from a broader, more expansive and more grateful perspective. &nbsp; Which is what scientists term a growth mindset. There are so many other benefits too such as better sleeping, can lower blood pressure, can speed up healing after an operation plus many more. &nbsp;Check out the video below.<div class="iframe-wrapper"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oHv6vTKD6lg?si=64MEdh9aSI6PBy6R" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div>Why do we need to do that you are asking? Otherwise we stay in that limiting bias, see things as problems rather than possibilities and actually create more of the same stuff showing up. &nbsp;Which I call deja poo 💩💩💩💩💩. &nbsp;This isn't going to create a phenomenal life but one that most people are having where they are putting out fires all the time.That's not for me folks - I'm here creating a life of greater ease, joy, magic and abundance and journaling has and will continue to be a huge part of this. &nbsp;It just helps us to be happier human beings.So if you have never done it before or stopped here's a few tips to get out on your way. &nbsp;*Download my free gratitude journaling prompt and watch some journaling videos .

Get started on a journey of more joy, self gratitude and more awareness.*Use pen and paper if you can as it activates the part of the brain that deals with solving problems - and often you have just written and the problem seems to disappear. &nbsp;And it really does take us into a more creative way to live our lives rather than seeing our lives as a big fat problem.*Adding a little ritual to the process can help - like a pretty journal for your gratitude journaling, &nbsp;a candle you light or having a favourite cup of tea while you do it.&nbsp;*Start small. &nbsp;It only needs to be around 10 to 15 minutes a day and if you have to get up 10 minutes earlier to do it, I recommend you do.*It's not about writing down all the crappy stuff everyday as this will rewire your brain to look to notice how crappy your life is. &nbsp;There are different techniques for dumping old limiting things that don't have us rewiring more limiting thoughts.&nbsp;Whatever you do start today - it's never too late 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍And come join my free Soul Fuelled Circle Facebook Group to access two free zoom calls a month.<a target="_blank" href="https://soulfuelledsisters.ezycourse.com/zoom-signuppage">https://soulfuelledsisters.ezycourse.com/zoom-signuppage</a>
