Mid-Week Motivation + Self-Improvement Tool

“The more you celebrate life; the more life gives you to celebrate.” - Unknown (but not me)

It’s tough when you’re hurting or going through something tough.

I’m not saying it’s going to be easy or that you don’t have a great reason to do anything but celebrate life right now.

How’s that attitude working for you? I know it didn’t work well for me at all. It didn’t help me one bit.

You see, there’s always a reason to use to justify where you’re at. I had a really good one, I was a victim of sexual abuse, and it destroyed my life.

That felt good for a long time, but it nearly killed me. It’s time to start changing that story. You start changing that story by changing your mindset and a great way to do that is with gratitude.

Find something that you’re thankful for and find something that you’re working towards that you’re going to be thankful for and practice this every day.

Keep that “wins journal” on your phone and look at it often to celebrate those small and big wins. Use them to keep you going when you’re feeling down or defeated.

Find ways to celebrate life. When you start healing, you’ll start to see how valuable life is and how fast it goes.

Thought Record Sheet

Goal: Track specific negative thought and break it down logically.

How it works: 

• Situation: What happened?

• Emotion: What did you feel? (Rate the intensity 0-100%)

• Automatic Thought: What thought popped up?

• Evidence For: What facts support this thought?

• Evidence Against: What facts don’t support it?

• Balanced Thought: A more realistic, helpful thought.

Example:

“I’m going to fail this presentation.”

Evidence for: I’m nervous, I made a mistake last time.

Evidence against: I practiced, colleagues said I did well before.

Balanced thought: “I’m nervous, but I am prepared and capable.”

Stay positive and take action!
