I keep a daily journal, usually:

- “I could have handled X better by doing Y.”

- “Seeing A made me curious about B; maybe look into that.”

- “I really tried at K, but oof didn’t work out; let’s try L tomorrow!”

- “I did really good at P, Q, and R today — I’ll get a treat tomorrow and start on S.”

Mostly just internal monologue kinds of things, but there’s three benefits I’ve noticed:

- I don’t think about frustrations as much if I write them down.

- I am better at self-compassion when I externalize the monologue.

- I slowly adjust my monologue to reflect how I word it in writing, eg how I choose to frame things or what kinds of things I notice.
