Day 2. For the flow of new ideas to exploit in my life. £freshstart
Day 3. For my perspective towards my losses - The old me would have been depressed but I'm having more energy and positivity to move on, taking the loss as part of the process.
Day 4 For the awareness to rebuild my circle of influence with those of value and not holding on to dead weights - Influence is deeper than we think, more on this later.
Day 5. For today, though it started with weird vibes, I got through it with a positive state of mind.

Thoughts
Gratitude is so important because there is no way you can experience negativity and positivity at the same time but we have the choice on which one to feel at any moment.
Moving Forward
At the end of each week, I do write 6 wins or things I am grateful for, one of my non-negotiables.
I learned this from Peter Voogd, one of the very few people I follow and have had an impact on my mindset.
Feel free to copy this or modify it to your own taste.
It's not the how but the why
