Hello, everyone and welcome to the Evolve with Emily Show. I am your host, Emily Hayden.

And in today's episode, I just want to hang out with you guys. You guys are

seriously the best. And in a second, I'm going to share some messages that have gotten from you guys

recently. But as I was starting the podcast, I'm just chilling here at WeWork. I'm in one of the

offices. And I was kind of looking through my daily evolved Emily journal, which is just a daily journal

to help me live in a state of gratitude, choose how I show up in the world, you know, how I'm

going to practice excellence, what I'm choosing to speak over my life, and what I'm believing and praying

for every day. It's a journal that I created. If you guys have not picked one up yet, it is available.

You can just click the link in the description box or in the little show notes, and you guys have not picked one up yet it is available you can just click the link in the

description box or in the little show notes and you guys can grab one but it's honestly just the

absolute best way to start any day if i'm having a great day it's just it's it puts me just in an

even better mood and you guys when i'm having like the hardest of days, it just like,

it focuses me and it gets me going throughout the day and it keeps me going. It truly is just such

a practice that it doesn't matter where you're at in your journey. It helps. It really,

really helps. And I'm just, I'm so happy to have it even just for myself, but I'm happy to see you guys,

you know, utilizing this in your own lives because I know how impactful it can be to be going

through something so difficult and to feel so alone and so sad. And yet to wake up your, you know,

to wake up, open up your journal and say, okay, I know how I feel, but I've got to choose,

because it says today I choose. I have to choose to live in a state of gratitude. And whether you have

this exact journal or not, you guys can choose to do that. I have plenty of episodes describing

exactly what is in my journal. So you don't have to have this exact one, though it is helpful and it's awesome when we can all share the same journal.

So anyways, I was kind of just like looking through my journal, looking through some of my past entries.
