There are times when we are tired, burnt out, or simply out of ideas when it comes to being grateful. That is when we may need to rely on an outside source or an alternative method. Tune in to see what I mean!

Welcome to Everyday Happiness where we create lasting happiness, in about 2 minutes a day,  through my signature method of Intentional Margins® (creating harmony between your to-dos and your priorities), happiness science, and musings about life. 

 

I'm your host Katie Jefcoat and I was on a coffee chat in my membership community the other day and one of the Margin Makers, that’s what we call our Intentional Margin Community Members.  And one Margin Maker was talking about another, saying this woman was glowing and had really made a shift.  When she was asked, what changed, she said that she had relied on the content in the community as her positive, mindfulness content, which of course, gave me all the feels and that she was practicing daily affirmations.  

 

She was feeding her brain the content she wanted to focus on. 

 

I talk about how important this work is.  I have cards of affirmations that I’ve written myself.  But I fell out of practice. And it sucks. As I reflected back in some journaling over the last few days, I’ve been more ho-hum and less bright and shiny on the inside.  My outward cheerleader pep-talk may have been the same language, but my inner feelings were not aligned and I am feeling it.  

 

So, what to do?  Especially when you feel like your anxiety is at an all-time high and your emotions feel heavy.  It’s not enough to just “say” affirmations, you have to actually believe them, and this is what got me caught up. 

 

I’ve re-committed to daily gratitude and daily affirmations.  I have a strong core belief that they make me happier.  And, the research agrees.  

 

Perhaps if you are feeling emotionally exhausted, a few notes of gratitude written on a piece of paper and a positive self-worth daily affirmation might help you too?
