Day 3 has been fun!
Went to the gym and did my deepest squat ever! I’m talking heels flat, all the way down, and stood up smoothly. Never expected that to happen before, definitely not today!
Decided to rate my negative and positive thoughts on a scale from 1 to infinity apparently 
You know what? Sometimes you have to enjoy making up your own rules. Especially when you’re playing your own game by yourself.
What else happened today? Found some pretty cool stuff. Watched some movies with my Mom. And enjoyed an unexpected thunder storm that came out of nowhere.
What I learned? Going through my journaling prompts for Day 3 of #nocomplain30, I discovered something interesting. For those negative thoughts that I was rating, some of them ended up on the gratitudes list instead! Turns out I actually enjoy some of the things that I complain about. Who knew??
I added new gratitudes to my list too. Lots of ‘em. Because for every complaint, there are at least 10 things I can be grateful for instead.
The more you do this exercise, the stronger you get at seeing the good.
Get a great night’s sleep. Tomorrow is America’s 250th Birthday. I’m excited for the party!
