Episode 35: Gratitude is the Best Attitude

Hi there! We've arrived at the 34th episode of this series and are so grateful for the support along the way. What other way to express further gratitude than through the act of journaling. Journaling is a form of writing where one expresses themself in a manner that is free from judgment, fear, or outer expectations but looks inward to providing clarity for one's emotions and experiences from life. It's a process that provides "snapshots" of deriving wisdom from an experience and self-acceptance. Tune in to this week's episode where we discuss the five-step process of journaling and its benefits of improving self-awareness! ✍?? Quote of the Day: "It's important to know your flaws and faults. It doesn't mean you dwell on them or you down yourself if you state them. Acknowledging them is knowing yourself. Self-awareness is how you decide what you can and want to change and what you should accept." - Unknown ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ More resources mentioned in the episode: ↳ Mental Health Resources mentioned in episodes: https://linktr.ee/egofriendlypodcast ↳ If you can, please donate to Mental Health Foundation and #breakthestigma: DONATE - Mental Health Foundation ★ If you're reading this, I hope you have a great day!
