5 Fabulous Journal Prompts for you (and your clients)
I’ve kept a journal since 4th grade.
The act of writing with pen and paper is a sacred ritual for me.
It creates space to unplug, slow down, and see what the heck is in our heads and hearts.
I’m all for the usual journal prompts that point to our gratitudes and visions for the future, but I want to offer you some questions that might take you – and your clients - to new insights.
Light a candle... Grab your journal... And get curious.
- What hard shit have I survived?
Sometimes we wonder why we’re feeling overwhelmed, sad, ragey, or depressed. This question is a great one for seeing your strength, tenacity and endurance and remembering – “I’m not crazy for feeling crazy.”
Write down the big stuff. The little stuff. All of it.
- How am I fabulous and brilliant?
If you’re in my Facebook group, you know that every Thursday I encourage everyone to share at least one brag. Bragging is an amazing practice for seeing your own genius and loosening the grip of “never enough” stories…
Here are a few from the group to inspire you:
"I brag that I am making moves in my coaching business."
I" brag that I am making plans for running races in 2023."
"I brag that I remembered my magic today it feels so good!!"
Your turn!
What’s the most outrageous desire I can imagine for myself?
You’ve got your vision board, your word for the year, your business plan – now it’s time to be completely unrealistic. Outrageous desires and fantasies are life giving. They will make you giggle and maybe get a little tingly.
Sometimes our capacity to desire gets… flabby and out of shape. This question is like doing push-ups for your capacity to long for something.
I desire to live in Italy for a year.
I desire to sing with Stevie Wonder – in his house.
I desire to be a writer for SNL.
Yep.
Tingles.
What emotion do I want to feel more often?
You’re going to have so many.
Pick one that you will hold as an anchor for the year and be specific.
Proud?
Content?
Radiant?
Foxy?
Accomplished?
Write it down and allow it to lead the way – starting today.
What would I do if I were a very naughty girl?
Oh how we love this one in my Sisterhood groups… This is not a to-do list (unless it is!) – but a powerful way to reveal all the ways in which we have been trained to be well-behaved, tolerant, and nice.
Your inner naughty-girl has lots of wisdom if you give her some space to be heard.
Would you skip the holiday party and take a bubble bath instead?
Announce to your family that you’re never doing laundry again?
Buy yourself the most expensive purse you’ve always wanted?
Stay naughty.
Let's get connected!
Depending on the season and what's going on in the world, I create free workshops, fundraisers, and / or Sisterhood gatherings. Sometimes I'm gearing up for Rockstar Camp enrollment which sells out quickly.
Sometimes I just have updates or feel the impulse to write to you and check in.
