Need and Give-Journal Prompt

Hey Beautiful Souls!

I encourage you to check in with yourself and ask what do you need and what can you give.

What do I need in my life, what support am I seeking? It might even be from yourself.

What can I give to someone else that would help support them in what they are seeking to create? It might be a listening ear, time, a smile, a hug, inspiration.

What am I saving? – Journal Prompt

Hey Beautiful Souls!

Do you find yourself saving stuff until… Until it’s a special occasion, the right time, until you  have the house organized, until you lose the weight -until…

What are you waiting for until?  (is it that set of dishes, outfit, journal, idea, dream, letter you want to write? ) 

Then I urge you to not wait until, choose 1 thing from your list and enjoy it now, bring the idea forward, name it-write it down. Make one small move to bring that “until” to now! Life is short and precious!

Purpose-Journal Prompt

Hey Creative Souls

With the exiting launch of my eBook “How to live with purpose” the subject of purpose has been on my mind more than usual.

So let’s explore purpose in this week’s Journal Prompt:When I think of purpose, what comes up for me? Descriptions? Feelings? Images?

For me I think of Self-Expression, Being myself, being of Service, Creativity ,Intention and Mindfulness. I think of living with purpose and how that can show up in our day-to-day lives. The feelings are of joy, curiosity, connectedness.

What about you, what comes up for you when you think of the word purpose?

Daily Essentials- Journal Prompt

Hey Inspiring Souls,

Oftentimes we say we want certain things,want to feel a certain way. Yet we don’t engage in things that support that goal, vision, feeling, desire etc. Think about 3 things at least that would support the life you want to create and make them doable enough to be daily essentials.

What daily essentials would support what I want to create in my life? (at least 3, but not too many a to overwhelm you)

Some of mine are:

-Water

-Hugs

-Inspiring Music

Celebrate-Journal Prompt

Hey Inspiring Souls!

It’s so easy for us to always see whats not done, where are not, what we think we or our lives are lacking. So every now and again I like to write down what I am wanting to celebrate, realizations, accomplish,what I am just feeling good about in my life.

I am encouraging you to do so this week. Nothing is too small to go on this list. It’s about celebrating, acknowledging  and noticing what you’re doing in your life.

Today I celebrate and acknowledge about myself and my life….

I will share a few of mine with you:

-I made the calls and did the research I needed for some things I don’t love dealing with

-I have released a good amount of physical stuff that I just don’t use

-I have been better about using “my tools” of shifting my mood from one of not so happy or anxiety to one of being purposeful and more peaceful

This Moment- Journal Prompt

Hey Beautiful Souls!

I am a fan of capturing bits of our “normal” everyday life. I love to do this by taking a photo and putting the thoughts, sounds and happenings of that moment being captured. That is this weeks journal prompt. just capture the moments, if you can’t or do not want to take a picture simply use words to describe it a bit more.

In this moment…

I see

Feel

Hear

Know

Kind words- Journal Prompt

Hey Inspiring Souls!

It’s so easy to fall into the habit of constantly noticing what we are not doing, whats undone and where we feel like we are not good enough.

Today lets combat some of those thoughts with kind words. There are several different ways to do this:

1- What are some kind things people have said about you lately, or ever

2-Tell yourself some kind words. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and ask yourself… What do I most need to hear right now? Where can I affirm myself?

This would be a great thing to reference on a very very regular basis!

Be kind to yourself

What if I… Journal Prompt

Hey Beautiful Souls!

For me, more often than not the prompts come from a place of where i happen to be. So you can often tell where I am in my head space by what the prompts are about. This week I have been thinking about how I show up in life and what ifs.. Then in my journal I had pasted a headline from a magazine that read “What if I actually”? (and this is the prompt!) 

This was my prompt to get me started on thinking of so many things.. I am especially introspective as my Birthday is coming up this week. Here are some things that came up for me…

What if I actually..

Lived my 37th year more boldly? What if I believed in my own truth, dreams and strength? What if I showed up as my more and more in every way everyday… What if I actually found a way instead of an excuse to lean or leap into my dreams?

There was more, but this was the core of it and it’s still stirring around in my head ..What if I actually lived this, owned this and showed up for myself and for my gifts.. what if?

Actions-Journal Prompt

Hey Beautiful Souls

A powerful question I have been and need to continue to ask myself is one I thought other people could benefit from.

Are my actions and decisions supporting what I say my priorities and desires are?

I am not even suggesting at this point that you make a list of actions that will “correct” it if the answer is no, what I am encouraging us all to do including myself is to just be in truth with that answer.

Grateful For… Journal Prompt

Hey Wonderful Souls!

I think it’s so important to remind ourselves what we are grateful for on a regular basis!

One thing is great, or put a bunch.. I will encourage you to put 15 things you are grateful for!

A fun way to do this in your “regular” journal or visual journal is to draw or put images of what you grateful for!

I am grateful for:

You, my beautiful readers
