Journaling is recommended by just about every coach, therapist, counselor and I am no exception. But I am not talking about writing a diary like you might have as a little girl or teenager and this is not about your to do list either.

This is journaling for the purposes of healing, fostering inner growth and going on a self-discovery journey.

That’s why I created The Joy Journal (TJJ) and I am beyond excited to be able to share it with you here today along with everything else you need to know about how to get the most out of your journaling.

There really are only two steps to journaling:

First BUY A JOURNAL.

And choose one that you want to write in. Whether it is a guided one or blank or is pretty or not - choose one that resonates with you.

There are many reasons or benefits to starting a journaling practice:

So this is why you buy a journal

Second, START WRITING.

Join me as I share several strategies and tools to help you get started writing in your journal daily.

Wishing you all the joy, happiness and peace during this holiday season.

As we close out the year the focus is to let go of the things that no longer nourish and serve us to create space for the things we want to grow and expand into.

Be gentle and kind with yourself. Rest and nourish your heart, body and soul.

I’ll be back next week.

In love and light, Elisabeth Joy ✨💖🕯️

Join me for a great conversation with past client Emily Pennystone. She has truly embraced her journey forward when her marriage ended and she sure had a number of hurtles to overcome. She is now turning her journey into learning and helping women build their trust in themselves. 

Self-trust often comes up in my coaching sessions and within the group. Women feel they can't trust their judgement because they chose a "bad" partner. Or they feel incapable of the healing and happiness they so badly want.

I look forward to hearing what you think of this episode. And below you will of course find all the relevant links to what I mentioned in the episode.

I feel like I talk about this alot, but still women ask me to talk about it more. I sometimes wonder if some just aren’t ready to hear what I am saying, not quite ready to hear the truth - namely that their healing lies within themselves and not in the punishment of the abuser.

There is a lot of time spent talking about Karma and unfairness of the courts etc in these cases and I do hear that. But I also know that the only way to heal is to find your way back to yourself and heal within yourself. Whatever does or doesn’t happen to the other person has no real effect on your life unless you let it. And that in itself is disempowering and exactly where the abuser is enabled to thrive.

Hard times open our eyes and hearts to questions and new choices.

Challenges force us to look at things differently.

Emotional pain finds us asking for peace, love and the absence of pain.

It is during these difficult moments, events and times that we have the opportunity to discover ourselves, our inner callings, values and desires and even to touch on the greater meaning of life.

Getting divorced is not an experience I would wish on anyone including myself. However, instead of only viewing it as an ending and something bad, I found so much peace and healing in seeing the possibilities that existed because of this massive life shift.

Today I am going to share my journey with you broken down into 10 steps (with several substeps)😉.

Grab a pen and paper or journal and let’s get started.

Most of us want to one day meet someone again after divorce. But dating after divorce can feel so scary. Our trust has been shaken as has our faith in true lasting love.

We read quotes and sayings about soul-mates and what true love "should" look like, sound like etc. But that's not reality, it's just good writing.

So what is the key to feeling loved and seen and chosen? 

The answer is simple - love yourself, see yourself and choose yourself first.

Not so simple you say... Ok let's dive into the episode and see if I can help you at all. And if you would like some more help with this after the episode then I invite you to choose yourself by choosing to do the work with me. 🙋🏼‍♀️ I know, I know - shameless self-promotion 🤷🏼‍♀️. But the truth is, I can help you and would love the opportunity to work with you.

What are the beliefs you created about yourself to survive your day-to-day, your marriage or any other daily situations? Who did you have to become? So much to talk about here. In order for us to move forward and stand in our power as we are encouraged to do, we first must figure out who we are and let go of who we became that doesn't align with our future.

I feel like I made that sound confusing...🤭 Join me and let's work through this very important topic together. 😍

I know it is so tempting, but make sure you are very clear and honest with yourself about why you are doing it and what your objective is. The last thing you want is to walk away feeling like you gave her all your power and that can happen more easily than you might think.
