☕Beginning your day with hope gives you something positive to look toward.
💤 Ending your day with gratitude gives you a chance to reflect on the good.
This is not just a feel-good exercise. It rewires neural pathways away from stress and toward positivity.
Making this practice a habit will make your brain scan for solutions and safety rather than lingering on worry. It's simple and it's powerful!
The space I gave you to journal the good things that happened each day is larger than the space for journaling your hopes for the day. That's because when you look for the good, it's surprising how much you'll find.
A conversation that could've been stressful, but wasn't. A stranger who smiled and let you merge In traffic. A perfect cup of coffee. An opportunity to hug someone who needed it. This is the stuff of life.
My cousin Stace Nesfeder-Clemens is starting her devotion journaling journey today, and my friend Becca McConnell shared that Hope + Gratitude was just what she needed to start her morning.
That's going in my journal tonight!
