Be Still With Bobbi

Goals are great. But they don't always move the needle fast enough for me. Plus, they can often feel like ONE MORE THING TO DO on my ever crowded list. That's why I often lean into the practice of crafting VISIONS in my life instead. When you vision (or ENvision) how your life could be different, it incites a heightened level of emotion. Visions can be frightening (in a good way) - pushing you just far enough out of your comfort zone to make you feel more alive. Listen in to Part 2 of this two-part series, as I dive back into the joy and adventure that naturally come along with exploring visions for your future, rather than logically setting goals.

Worry is a part of life. But If we're not careful, worry has the ability to completely derail our mindset and steal the joy we could otherwise be experiencing. Maybe you've heard that worrying won't change the outcome or there's nothing you can do about your worry, so you may as well let it go. While true, that's easier said than done. In today's episode I'm talking specifically about what I do when worry threatens to take me out. I hope you find this little tip helpful enough to try it for yourself. Thanks for listening! 

Is goal setting enough? Setting measurable, time-sensitive goals is a great practice to have, but it's not the same as creating visions in your life. Visions are uniquely your own and make you feel something long before you ever reach the finish line. Visions have a way of guiding you toward your future with greater hope and a sense of purpose. In this episode I'm talking specifically about how visions have positively moved the needle in my own life and what it looks like when they come to me in their early development stage. If you've ever found yourself feeling lost, stuck, or unsure what to do next, listen in as I share how visions have changed the way I do life and why they're such a big part of my journaling practice. Curious about creating a journaling and stillness practice of your own? Head over to https://bestillwithbobbi.com/the-practice to learn more. I'm glad you're here.

Writing in your journal can be therapeutic for your mind and soul. It can also be a way to process your thoughts in real time - so you can better understand yourself and know what you want next. However, the number one reason journaling has been so impactful in my life is not in the daily writing. It's in the review! In this episode I'm talking all about how I look forward, by first looking back. I'm so glad you're here! Let's dive in.

Do you embark on the holidays with excitement and anticipation only to end the season depleted? You're not alone. So many of us rush into the holidays already feeling behind. Wouldn't it be nice to feel like you're more in control of walking through the season with ease, rather than the season walking all over you? In this episode we're talking about setting an intention before the holiday season is fully upon us, with the hope of experiencing the holidays with more purpose this year.

Practice isn't perfect. That's not the saying I heard growing up and I'm guessing you didn't either. The problem is, "practice makes perfect" leads us to believe perfection is possible. But setting those kinds of expectations are a recipe for quitting before you even start. The prayer and journaling practice I've developed over time is called a "practice" for a reason. Beginning with this one small statement - practice isn't perfect - in mind, allows me the freedom to believe there's no right or wrong way to show up for this practice. With a clear mind and no pretense, I'm able to freely engage in the present moment, knowing whatever is meant for me in that session will show up at the exact right time. This is what I want to share with you today. Ease, grace, and a commitment to show up are the only requirements for creating a prayer and journaling practice that works for you. I'm glad you're here.

Do you journal? Have you ever? Have you heard about the overarching benefits of journaling but aren't sure where or how to start? If you've ever wished you were a "journaler," or if you've wondered if you could be the type of person who journals ... this episode is for you. Even if you've bought journals in the past with the best intentions to make journaling a habit, only to shove those same journals in a drawer unfinished, I've got you covered. Listen in as I share the evolution of my own journaling practice and the reason why journaling is so impactful. I hope you find a nugget or two that inspires you to give a go for yourself.
