REFLECTION & JOURNALING TOOLS

A short daily practice for noticing what is working —
in your work, your life, and yourself.

A Recalibration Tool

Sustained high performance tends to erode the ability to recognize what is going well. The focus shifts almost entirely to what needs fixing, what is behind, what is not enough. Gratitude practice is not a corrective for negativity - it is a recalibration tool that keeps the whole picture in view.

Three minutes of structured written reflection changes what the brain is looking for during the rest of the day. It is a small intervention with a disproportionate effect on how quickly you recover from difficulty and how clearly you see your own capacity.

How to Use This Worksheet

Complete it at the same time each day - morning or end of day both work. Consistency matters more than timing.
Write specific, concrete responses rather than general ones. "My team showed up" is less useful than "Mara caught the error before it went to the client."
The self-appreciation section is the one most people want to skip. Do not skip it.
Date each entry if you are using this as an ongoing practice - it becomes useful evidence when you need to remind yourself of your own track record.
