January 09, 2022 S2E12 Me or The World
Isn't it interesting how viewing things from a slightly different perspective can be helpful?

The Six Minute Diary, by Dominik Spenst, is a simple diary template that I find easy to commit to and very helpful.

If you like starting and ending the day with a wholesome reflection, but are struggling to make it a habit, I highly recommend it.

Just bear in mind I was feeling low when recording this episode which, in fact, is what enticed me to do so.
