Keep a journal.

Journaling can help you connect with yourself on a deep emotional level by providing a tangible record of thoughts and feelings to look back on later.

Your journal is a written record of you. It provides a great space to keep track of important goals, emotions, and your overall daily experience. It also helps you pinpoint things you want to address, like low self-confidence or lack of motivation.

Keeping a journal can also demonstrate growth over time.

When you doubt your internal abilities or feel as if you haven’t accomplished much, glancing back through months or years past can show you where your skills shone through. 

Maybe you handled a crisis well or had the resilience to bounce back from a painful breakup, for example.
