Journaling wins and good moments is crucial as it helps to counteract the tendency to dwell on negative experiences. We often celebrate good moments briefly but ruminate on bad experiences for far longer, leading to the amplification of negative thoughts. By consistently criticizing ourselves for mistakes while downplaying our successes, we train our minds to focus on weaknesses and flaws. Therefore, it's important to deeply journal and share our victories to counteract this pattern and nurture a mindset that expects greatness from ourselves.
