From Stella Grizont, Ladies Who Launch Incubator Leader, New York and New Jersey

Every entrepreneur has her off days. Shipping snafus, internet shut-downs, traffic, grocery bills – it can all get overwhelming and magnify other things bothering you like mistakes or disappointments. But did you know you have a secret weapon to keep bad days from getting the best of you? Tap into it by first removing yourself from the unproductive pity party you’re attending. Then do yourself the biggest favor in the world and start a “thank you” journal. This is something I’ve been doing for years and it has never failed to lift my mood. I start each sentence with “I’m grateful for…” and then I just write and write and write until I feel better. Sometimes if I don’t have time to write I just do it as a meditation, but either way I remind myself not to take anything for granted. I’m grateful for my family, my warm coat, coffee, my supportive Incubator members, and for having a wonderful business partner – and the list goes on and on! The key is to revel in the fact that you’re a very lucky person. Positivity is powerful! It does take work to drag yourself out of a funk, but in the end it goes a long way.
