Quick Spring Check-in: Journaling Prompts for Seasonal Alignment
(I can’t wait to smell the first lilac of the season, can you?)
At the turn of a season, I like take out my journal, and do a quick check in.
Especially in the Spring, where it can feel like we’re shedding not just our winter skin, but the whole entire past year.
The main question is:
“How am I different than the woman I was three months ago?”
Like,
Are there perspectives or beliefs that have shifted since January?
What are they and why?
Am I still aligned with old patterns and tired habits?
What do I want to leave behind?
What can I shed?
Did I make the most out of this past season? Or did I simply endure it?
How can I intentionally create a better experience for myself next time?
My time, energy, and effort:
Who, what, and where where was it spent, and do I want to continue investing in those people places and things moving forward?
Of all these concepts, do I know why I’m holding on to these things that keep me stagnant in a version of myself I’ve out-grown? (a fancy way of saying stuck)
What are the secondary gains here? Like, how am I benefitting from saying there?
What feel scary about moving forward?
What is the story I’m telling myself about the identity of past me, vs future me?
What do I need to do to finally let go.
Think of any other questions that have come up for you, and what the answers are. Really empty out your curiosity.
What are you learning about yourself?
What patterns are you seeing if you take a 10,000 foot view of this person and her life?
Now, what actions can you take today, or plug into the calendar for the next 3 months that will help you find more alignment with the life you want?
Make the plan, book the appointment, plan the meal, send the text, till the soil and plant the seed.
Drop me a line and let me know what comes up for you!
Until next time,
