TRIXIE’S Journal Challenge: Simple Steps to Live with Fierceness & Gratitude
Hey, fierce souls—ready to level up your mindset and unleash your inner sparkle? Welcome to TRIXIE’S Journal Challenge, where we pair a dash of badassery with a heaping scoop of gratitude. It’s time to make positivity your default setting, and I’m here to walk you through the easiest, most empowering way to do it.
Morning Magic: Set Your Intention
Before that gravity-defying hair has even seen a brush, grab your journal (or a sticky note) and write one intention for your day. But make it powerful—an I AM statement that centers you.
Example:
I AM wildly creative, and today I will share my ideas without apology.
Say it out loud—yes, even if your pillow rolls its eyes. Hearing your own voice declare your power is like strapping on invisible wings.
Evening Encore: Celebrate the Wins
Life isn’t just about the big victories. It’s about recognizing those little sparks of awesome that light up your day. At bedtime, jot down:
One thing that went well today. Could be nailing that presentation or finally getting your coffee order right.
Three things you’re thankful for. No need for grand gestures—fuzzy socks, your best friend’s meme game, or the sun peeking through your window all count.
Tiny but mighty example:
Win: I made someone smile at Walmart today.
Grateful for:
Fuzzy socks (warm toes = happy heart)
That 2-for-1 latte special
My playlist that kept me dancing down every aisle
Daily Pep Talk: Affirm & Empower
Every. Single. Morning. Look yourself in the mirror (or the reflection in your coffee mug) and say one positive thing out loud:
“Today is going to be a great day!”
Who cares if you’re talking to yourself? You’re planting seeds of confidence that blossom into unstoppable energy.
Nightly Gratitude Prayer
Before you drift off, seal it all with a simple thankful prayer. It doesn’t have to sound churchy or formal—just honest. For example:
“Thank you, Universe, for today’s laughter, lessons, and love. Help me wake up ready to conquer tomorrow.”
Why It Works: Embedding a Positive Mindset
Intentional mornings set the tone: You start in “creator” mode, not “reactor” mode.
Evening reflections rewire your brain to focus on abundance, not lack.
Daily affirmations are like mental push-ups: build strength over time.
Gratitude prayers soothe your spirit and prepare you for restorative sleep.
Nobody wants to be a vibe killer—and we sure don’t need more of those. Instead, let’s build each other up, cheer each other on, and flood the world with good energy.
Are You In?

Now go on—intentionally rock your day with fierceness and gratitude. I believe in you! 🖤✨
