85 Journal Your Journey with Katie Dalebout
Welcome my Clan of the Crave Bears! I know your life is
incredibly busy, so it means so much that you are spending this
time with me.
Today we are going to be talking about Katie Dalebout’s new
book, Let It Out - A Journal Through Journaling. One of the things
we have talked so much about is a gratitude practice. Having a
gratitude practice is a strength and it allows you to open up your
mind to hope, positive thoughts, and learning.
Although I believe in a gratitude practice and I even have a
gratitude jar in my kitchen, I know that there can be a downside to
gratitude. Negativity bias is something we will talk about and how
it can actually benefit us in some ways, but it can also rule us. A
gratitude practice can counteract your negativity bias.
Gratitude is not a panacea - it’s not a cure all. We don’t want
to overdose on gratitude. Writing down 10 gratitudes a day might
make you feel like you failed if you can’t come up with 10. There
is no such thing as “more is better” in the gratitude department.
So, set realistic goals for your gratitude.
You may not realize that you can also fail to recognize your own
role in your success. Thanking everyone else, while downplaying
your own contribution isn’t great for your self-esteem. So pick one
day and time each week that you will journal your gratitude. Write
down 3 things you are grateful for, AND write down YOUR
contribution to that success. It isn’t luck, and it isn’t being in
the right place at the right time. Recognize your own
awesomeness!
Katie Dalebout is an author, coach and podcaster and she has a
lot of insight into self-acceptance and journaling. She's here to
share all the benefits of journaling!
