[QUOTE="Camilla, post: 38986, member: 2130"] Yes of course. This is the diary that I use [URL='https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mindfulness-Happiness-Productivity-Effective-Gratitude/dp/B07WGHW23N/ref=asc_df_B07H9438YB/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309912011517&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9579188130602425656&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9044948&hvtargid=pla-562578885027&th=1'](link here)[/URL]. It is quite expensive for what it is... you could just use any old notepad but I have linked it so you can see the layout. It's quite cheesy but in the 'positive affirmation' section I wrote "I am a trainee solicitor" and in the "I'm grateful for..." section I would write that I am grateful for being confident, good at interviews etc. This was at the time that I had a number of post-interview rejections so it wasn't exactly true, but I found that writing something every day over a period of weeks made me believe it. I was of course still working on my interview technique alongside writing these affirmations. In the "things I am grateful for..." section, I would write all the small wins I experienced that day, even if it is just something minor like a compliment, or something bigger like passing a Watson Glaser test. Then, before an interview, I would read all my mini-achievements which I would have otherwise forgotten, and it was like a mini-pep talk/confidence boost. [/QUOTE]
