You are working toward something that looks way to big from your perspective. What baby step can you take today to get closer to your dream?
Journal about the one baby step you can take, then go take it.
Post a comment about how taking the baby step affected you.
You are an inspiration to someone (probably lots of someones), because you are awesome and amazing.
Today’s journal prompt, however, is to write a thank you letter to a person who inspires you. I encourage you to share the letter with the person.
And in the meantime, shout out who inspires you in the chat!
What has God called you to do? What is keeping you from doing it? Who are you letting down right now because you’re not doing your job?
And that’s your journaling prompt for today.
What have you been avoiding because you’re afraid you’ll fall? Journal about that today and focus on two things.
Happy Monday! Happy March!
A new Monday in a new month is a great time to think about your focus. What is your focus today? How important is it?
For your journaling prompt today, answer those 2 questions. What is your focus today? How important is it?
If you find you’re focusing on something that isn’t important, take another shot.
I don’t know what you’ve been putting off, but today is the day to get started. You’ll never finish what you don’t start.
For today’s journaling activity, write about what you’ve been putting off and why you’ve been putting it off. Maybe you’ve been putting it off because you don’t feel ready or because you’re afraid people will dislike you. Whatever your reasons, I want you to evaluate whether or not they are true. For example – Are you really not ready? I bet you’re ready enough to take the next step. Or will people really dislike you? Maybe, but if people will dislike you for whatever your thing is, are those people worth your energy?
Comment below with what you’re going to start today and any revelation you had while you journaled.
Fear keeps us stuck.
What are you afraid of that’s keeping you from moving forward? Will whatever it is you fear still be problematic in 1 year? Is it actually problematic now?
I’m not poo-pooing fear. Fear is real and serves a purpose. Fear can keep you from doing dangerous things, but fear is also deceptive. Fear will have you believing something is dangerous when it’s merely unknown or uncomfortable.
So, I’ll ask again: What are you afraid of that’s keeping you from moving forward? Is that fear founded in something real and dangerous or destructive? Or is that fear founded in something that’s unknown or uncomfortable?
One year from now will you feel confident in having listened to your fear, or will you feel regret in having succumbed to it?
Take 5 minutes, right now, if you can, to journal about what fears you’re carrying with you today. Evaluate those fears to determine if they will result in confidence or regret one year from now. Then act accordingly.
Comment below with what you learned about yourself.
Todays’ journaling assignment is write about how you plan you use your greatness to improve the world. Please share in the comments!
Chances are good you are standing in your own way. I don’t know how you’re standing in your own way, but for me, that often looks like procrastination and self-doubt.
Take a minute to list all of the ways you’re standing in your way. Then take 3 minutes to journal about how you’re going to stop those behaviors and mindsets. Then take 1 more minute to remind yourself you can, indeed, do whatever the thing is you want to do.
This will be, perhaps, the best 5 minutes you spend on yourself today.
I’d love to hear how you’re getting out of your own way. Post a comment to share.
Welcome to 2021!
Let’s get the year started off right with some visioning for the year. I think we’ll do a few exercises for this in January.
