look back + be inspired.
so there are a couple rules of thumb, conflicting of course {such is life} with this idea of journaling and again, an opportunity to show up and do whatever TF feels best and most powerful and aligned for you but imma share this lil nugget.
this morning, feeling a wee down and discombobulated, frustrated and disappointed … you know, seeing potential in people and respecting autonomy is hard work. work that I’m here for but hot damn it’s a doozy, certainly when it’s your offspring ;)
anyhoo, I digress. I was feeling my feelings and noticing that I was getting a little stuck. I was stewing, being all human and shit {and being a lil obsessed with this healing journey I have accumulated a plethora of resources for rebounding and re-centering which is cool and all, but the true magic, the true win here is in the noticing AND the taking healthy actions, so for sure patting myself on the back for that growth}. anyhoooo, a lil uninspired I decided to pull open an older journal and see what I had to say.
hmmm, pretty powerful.
one, to see how much info is alive in my brain + bod.
two, how deep + poignant + on point i can be with a decent dose of ridiculous + illegible ;) .
three, how so very connected to this work I am.
four, how far i have come and what has transpired from putting words into the universe.
five, what is still hanging on that needs attention.
six, how freaking much I love my kids {not all that surprising but on a day when we’re not in a cozy mush pile, this is heartwarming}
seven, how my words are important and putting them on paper leads to better communicating not just my needs but my knowings to the people who need or want to hear it.
so friends, keep journaling or maybe try it on for size, in whatever way it feels good to do it. and if you’ve been told not to re- read your musings, I call BS. look back occasionally and be inspired and proud, and that last little nugget is not reserved only for journaling ;)
it totally turned this frown upside down this morn <3
