This week, we're tackling the festive frenzy head-on by journaling about how we'll lighten our loads, stop people-pleasing, and set boundaries to manage holiday stress this year.
It's all about planning smartly and mastering the art of responding, not reacting. Join me in this exploration of holiday peace and personal empowerment. Together, we'll find joy in simplicity and strength in clarity.
Journal Questions:
1. Opening Prompt: How are you feeling at this moment? Describe your current emotions and thoughts without judgment.
2. Mindful Observation: Choose an object and focus all your attention on it for one or two minutes. Notice and journal as many details about the object — taking in its color, texture, smell, and even how the light hits it.
3. Managing Holiday Stress: Write about the strategies you plan to use to manage holiday stress this year.
4. Gratitude: Take a moment to reflect on the year, so far. What are three things you are most grateful for this year, and why? Consider the moments, people, and experiences that brought you joy and fulfillment.
The Mindful Journal Club is a safe space where people are offered the opportunity to explore their innermost thoughts, feelings, and aspirations through the art of journaling. Through weekly prompts, live, online journal sessions, and a nurturing, judgment-free zone, we provide a platform to reflect, evolve, and connect. Whether you've been journaling for years or you're just starting out, our club ensures you have the tools to navigate life's experiences with clarity and intent.
