There is a something about the process of checking off a habit each day. Keeping a log of my progress really can help improve motivation and ability to complete the habit each day. This can really help see your progress along the way from start to finish. Don’t forget to reward yourself for even the smallest victories!
This can really help transform your entire outlook and mindset on life. There is no wrong way to create and gratitude list/journal. It can be first thing in the morning with a strong cup of coffee, OR it could be at night as more of a reflective outlook on the day. The most important part of this is to be consistent and write every day! Even the days that seem the hardest, or the days that you feed down or defeated, naturally writing down the good in each day will help lift your spirits.
This list can even go hand in hand with your habit and gratitude journal. Remember this Grid Dot Bestie is YOU, so make it fit for your life!

SOOOO, let’s focus on the things you DID accomplish! They do not always need to be big grandiose victories. Give yourself ALL the credit.
Make a list of what you are going to eat each day of the week. In doing this you can then write out what you need from the grocery store so you can make sure you have everything you need!
