Today’s Focus

The 5-Minute Morning Journal

Before diving into your day, spend just five minutes writing down your thoughts, intentions, or what you’re grateful for.

📓 This simple habit can clear mental clutter, reduce stress, and help you start your day with focus and calm.

Why It Works

Journaling engages the prefrontal cortex — the part of your brain responsible for planning and reflection. By putting your thoughts on paper, you create mental space, process emotions, and improve self-awareness. Over time, this can boost mood, increase productivity, and even improve problem-solving skills.

📌 Quick Challenge — For the next 3 mornings, write down three things: one you’re grateful for, one goal for the day, and one thought you want to let go of.
