Thursday Thoughts

Journal Prompt – Schedule a sacred date with yourself. You deserve time for your life. It is so important to schedule time with yourself. My mom taught me to “book an appointment” with yourself, whether it’s for 5 minutes or an hour. Do the things you love! Use this journal prompt to plan a date with yourself!

Journal Prompt – Set boundaries. Protect your precious time and energy. Setting boundaries doesn’t always have to be with people, you can set boundaries with certain things you do or even social media. Unplug, take a break. Give your mind a rest. Do the things that make you happy and surround yourself with people that bring you joy. Write about the people and the things you love with this entry!

Journal Prompt – Call a friend. When you’re mirrored with love, you see yourself clearly. Now-a-days it’s important to call you friends, humans need interaction. It’s also important to surround yourself with the right people. How do you feel when you’re around certain people that you consider friends? Do they motivate you and support you or do they drain your energy? Being the first month of the year, use this entry to reflect on those that bring you joy in life.

Journal Prompt – Take action. The journey to find your lost self begins with one step. If you’re feeling lost right now, whether it’s to do with your job or your personal life, you need to take that first step in finding yourself again. Use this entry to just start writing, it can really help in organizing your thoughts so that you can find what’s missing. Just write whatever comes to mind, the rest will eventually flow. Don’t rush this process. When you do figure out what you need to do, DO IT! Take action!

Journal Prompt – Care for your body. Self-love and self-acceptance are the ultimate acts of self-care. Love your body through it all! One thing I’ve learned is that my body is forever changing, and I let it. I’m not 20 anymore, so my body is going to be different as I get older. Use this journal entry to be body positive, write down everything you love about yourself! Even if you have negative thoughts, explore the reasons why you have those thoughts. Are they your own thoughts, or because of what others say? Never let anyone tell you how YOU should feel, BE your amazing self and LOVE your amazing self!

Journal Prompt – Speak gently to yourself. Cherish the child within. We are our own worst critics. The words we say to ourselves are so impactful. If you were to go back in time and talk to your younger self face to face, would you say those words to that young face? Write a list of things you would say to your younger self, words of encouragement or affirmations. Things that you wish you were told growing up. You can use this list as affirmations to inspire you going forward if you’d like!
