Note to Self

Over the years I have enjoyed writing postcards and recently began writing them to myself. Most recently, I travelled to Canada and found a pretty one, and wrote it to me. Upon receiving it, as I was reading it, I thought, this is so nice! It warmed my heart and made my day go so much better and brighter. We can all use help supporting ourselves, lifting ourselves up, and recognizing our achievements. This simple practice, but it works. The next time you find that cute piece of stationary or are considering writing a letter of encouragement to a friend, consider writing one to yourself too. It will change your day upon receiving!

Another idea is to write a Thank you note to yourself for all of the things you do each day: exercise, cooking meals, taking care of children, running a household, working....whatever that list may look like for you...it could even be as simple as putting the dishes away. Or you may like to thank God for all of the blessings He has brought into your life. Gratitude lists always improve my day and make me stay on the brighter side of things. I often forget all of the numerous blessings and miracles that have truly been a result of God's goodness and grace in my life until I write them down. The list is endless!
