Highlight 10 minutes to write every morning, and you will see how your life will change

I wake up early, when the whole family is still asleep. Slowly I get up, drink tea and read a chapter of some good book. Then pull out a laptop and an hour diligently write down all their thoughts. When the family wakes up, I save things to talk to her. Slowly, I spend the morning so that the whole day to feel relaxed and happy.

Of course, it was not always. I used to wake up late, always in a hurry, angry, immediately dived into work. It was unpleasant. But I do not think I could make a difference. Fortunately, wrong.

Now I spend every morning anyway to extract the maximum benefit. Changes occurred gradually, but they all start with one month-long ritual. This ritual taught me to make the right decision, which subsequently almost completely changed the way of thinking.

Every morning for a month, I write down thoughts in a diary

Keeping a diary - a great way to know ourselves and to change life for the better. JK Rowling keeps a diary. Eminem keeps a diary. Oprah Winfrey also keeps a diary.

Successful people keep diaries, because this experience and learn from the mistakes it is easier to analyze.

I had heard about the benefits of this activity, but do not hurry to try for yourself. I was "too busy". This lasted until until they got to the hospital. stress levels become critical, and I started having panic attacks. But keeping a journal has helped to return to duty.
