Finding a Change of Mindset
Being intentional with every decision
It’s a new year and I’m looking at it as a fresh start. It’s a chance to wipe the slate clean and decide, from this point on, how do I want to approach things?

Changing your mindset takes practice and intentionality. Sometimes for me it seems silly, but until it becomes a habit I have to stop and switch it up. “I have to go to work” becomes “I am so grateful to have a car and the job to make money so I can help feed my family”.
One of the things I am doing daily is journaling. I start each day with a motivational quote that speaks to me, and something I am grateful for. I have some mornings where this is easy, and some that I really have to sit there and dig deep.
