The highlight of my day was drinking beer at the pub with my soccer buddies. It was only the second time that I had drunk beer since the start of the year and the start of my diet.
1) I am grateful to my ANU counsellor for his advice over the last five years.
2) I am grateful to my SELP coach for her amazing coaching and her stand for me.

Neuro-psychology experiments have shown that if people journal highlights from their day every day, then new pathways will be created through the brain. This allows these daily highlights to be automatically generated from then on, resulting in long term benefits such as less symptoms of stress with greater mental health and happiness. After completing various versions of this exercise several times on this blog, I am now taking on a new exercise by answering five simple questions each day.
