Day 11: The Honest Day

Day 11: The Honest Day

Day eleven. Today is the honest day.

Two columns. What you’re grateful for and what’s still frustrating. Side by side. Because it’s important to acknowledge that these two can coexist. Gratitude doesn’t mean that we ignore the problems. It doesn’t mean that we pretend life is perfect.

I don’t want anything to do with toxic positivity, and I’m not going to ask you to sign up for that either. So in this exercise, both columns are going to be true.

Gratitude doesn’t erase the problems in our life, but it does stop the problem from being the only thing you see. So write the frustration like the real frustration, and then write what’s good right beside it. Two things can be true at the same time. It’s not a trick, but it does help your brain start to reconcile.

Are you ready? Let’s go.
