I just picked up my journal after letting it collect dust for MONTHS and today I talked about my personal struggles with journaling slumps, how journaling has changed my life, and tips I have to help you get back into the habit of opening up your journal again.

In this episode I talked about...

-Why journaling is so important

-Tangible tips to help you get back into journaling

-Restrictions/rules that limit your journaling experience

-Journaling as a habit/routine

Journal prompts to get back into journaling:

1. Why haven't you journaled in some time? What have you been avoiding within yourself?
2. Describe what your ideal day would look like, using descriptive details.
3. What do you think the hardest part of healing is?
4. What does healing mean to you? Do you think you're ever truly healed?
5. What is your most traumatic experience? What lessons have you learned as a result of this experience?
6. What is the hardest thing for you to open up to others about? How come?
7. What do you think your best characteristics are? Why do you value these things about yourself?
8. What is the meanest thing anyone has ever said to you? Why did it hurt you so bad and in wat ways have you indoctrinated what that person said to you into your own self-belief system?
9. What makes someone a good friend? What makes YOU a good friend?
10. In what ways do you show up for yourself every day?

News flash... anything that we think is "taking the edge off," is actually causing us more harm than good. Listen, we all engage in things on the daily that aren't helping us grow. When we become aware of that, it's really easy to let guilt take over and send us into shame spirals, but that doesn't mean that we immediately cut out our harmful habit. If this is sounding all too familiar to you, then I'm glad you've stumbled across this episode.

Themes of this episode:

• What you're not changing, you're choosing
• Times of challenge = times of growth
• Self sabotage
• Self love

Journal prompts for this episode:

1. What habit(s) do you engage in every day/week? Would you consider them to be harmful or helpful? Why?
2. What is your favorite way to "take the edge off?"
3. In terms of your habits that are leading to more harm than good, why do you keep engaging in this habit? i.e ---Is it because you experience fomo? Is it because you don't know how to stop?
4. Describe who/what you'd be like if you no longer engaged in this habit?
5. Who/what influences you to continue this behavior?
6. How do you view yourself as a result of this behavior?
7. What do you find most challenging about breaking or building habits?
8. What things make you feel like you're abandoning yourself?
9. What is/are your other option(s) when thinking about changing a specific habit of yours?
10. What does the highest version of you look like? What are their habits, hobbies, etc...

Listen... I know the word "addiction" is one we want to run away from immediately, but the truth is, we are all addicted to something. With that, the only way to manage our dependencies is to face them head on. There are so many things that we get addicted to without realizing it. Social media, validation from others, shopping, etc... are all things that we can become dependent on. Today's episode is here to help you understand yourself better, remind yourself of your power, enlighten you on the psychology behind addiction, and empower you to make changes in your daily life.

Journal prompts for this episode:

1. What are your forms of escapism? In other words, what tactics do you cling onto in order to avoid yourself and your own thoughts? (i.e smoking, working out, going on your phone, etc...)
2. Why do you need to escape from yourself? What thoughts/situations are you trying to escape from?
3. If someone were to come up to you right now and ask you why you haven't quit indulging in your addiction/escapism, what would you say to them?
4. What story are you telling yourself? In what ways do you believe this thing is actually helping you? Do you have any evidence to support this behavior?
5. If you were fully healed from this situation, what would your life look like?
6. What are your coping mechanisms? Do you think they are helping or hurting you? How so?

When setting yourself out on a journey to feel your best, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the challenges that arise from looking inner and facing your problems head-on. With that, you must not misconstrue times of challenge for times for weakness. It takes great strength to even be able to acknowledge that there is work to be done. It takes resilience to acknowledge the glimpse of hope inside your soul (however small, however hidden) and even more to lean into that new way of living. To allow that hope to bring you to new perspectives that awaken your subconscious mind. To unleash all of the limiting beliefs that we have been holding onto for so long, choosing to repeat cycles of despair. Today's episode is here to remind you that just because something is challenging, that doesn't imply that you are not capable of conquering it. This very challenge might just be what changes everything. That is... only if you let it.

Key concepts covered in this episode:

• Stepping back into your power
• Transitional periods of growth
• Reclaiming your power
• Peace, presence, gratitude, trust, alignment, etc.
• Other people's affect on our emotions

Journal prompts for this episode:

1. What is the most prominent emotion that is surfacing lately? What might this emotion stem from? (EMOTIONS CAN ONLY STICK TO A STORY)
2. What tactics or actions do you take when you want to come back to yourself and feel grounded?
3. When do you feel the most present? Why do you think that is? How can you incorporate the intention of being more present into your daily routine?
4. What is you biggest struggle? Why has this been so hard to work through? What things do you engage in that make this struggle more apparent?
5. When do you feel the most aligned in your life? What does alignment feel like to you? (alignment = "I'm in the right place at the right time")
6. Do you consider yourself a grateful person? How do you practice gratitude? If you woke up today with everything you were grateful for yesterday, what would you wake up with?
7. If you could weigh your emotions out on a scale up to 100%, what percent of your emotions are evoked by others?
8. In what ways would your life look differently if you believed in your power more? Be specific!!
9. What are your regrets? How do these regrets make you feel or act when thinking about them? In what ways do you think your life would've changed if you did not do this thing? How can you look at these regrets with a different perspective moving forward? (i.e that needed to happen so that I understood _____)
10. If you we're exactly who and where you wanted to be in your life right now, what would that look like? BE SPECIFIC!!!

Suppressing the most authentic version of you because you are too scared of being perceived by others is the greatest form of self sabotage. It's time to stop letting other people's inflicted judgments of you determine your worth and capability to fulfil your dreams. It's time to fully embody who you were put here to be and unlearn who you were taught you were supposed to be. You are holding yourself back from evolving into your highest self by playing by the rules of the game that was designed by people who are too afraid to take the next step. You are letting them win by playing by their rules. Take your power back. Devote the rest of your life to knowing yourself deeper and loving yourself fully.

Journal prompts for today's episode:

1. What are you afraid of being perceived as?
2. How do you think others perceive you? How do you perceive yourself?
3. What qualities do you find yourself harshly judging in others? How might they reflect qualities or insecurities in you?
4. How do you react to criticism? What does this say about your self esteem/self worth?
5. What would you do differently if you weren't afraid of judgement or failure?
6. What makes you feel most like yourself? (Think about things like clothing, hobbies, passions, characteristics in people who you feel most authentically you around, etc.)
7. What is the main thing that is holding you back from perusing a passion of yours? Is it a limiting belief that you have created?
8. What parts of yourself do you feel as though you suppress/hide the most? Why?
9. What does your highest self look like? What habits do they have, what kinds of people do they surround themself with? What are their priorities?
