Celebrities LOVE This Healthy, 5-Minute Habit And We Think You Will, Too!
First, at the start of your day, take 2 1/2 minutes to write down the following:
• Three things you’re grateful for: What or who has been making your life easier lately? What simple pleasure has made a difference in your life? Have certain positive qualities about yourself been especially useful? • Three things that will make the day great: What are three things you’re looking forward to today? What small actions can you do to make it even better? • Daily affirmations: Your daily “I am” statements should reflect something that makes you feel empowered or reminds you of an important lesson. Examples: “I listen to my intuition and trust my inner guide” or “I am becoming closer to my true self every day.”
At M3 PT, we’re always looking for ways to encourage our patients to keep up their healthy lifestyles. We recently discovered a five-minute gratitude habit we adore — and, apparently, so does Emma Watson and award-winning author Tim Ferriss!
By the end of the day, you’ll take the last 2 1/2 minutes to write:
• Three amazing things that happened today: What excited you? Who’s been there for you today?
MEET THE 5-MINUTE JOURNAL
• One way you could have made your day even better: Is there any part of your day you could have handled better? What do you think is the most important takeaway from today? If you want to give it a try from your smartphone, download the free Five-Minute Journal app. It’s very handy for people who don’t like writing or just want daily notifications to work on their gratitude journal. Thanks for joining us and have a great day!
This isn’t an ad. The concept of the Five-Minute Journal actually rocks. It’s both a journal and a gratitude exercise. Why is that important? Studies say that practicing gratitude not only increases happiness and reduces symptoms of depression, but it also reduces stress. This can make a significant impact on your blood pressure and long-term heart health.
The best part? You don’t need to buy the official journal to do it at home.
