I had to check myself recently on my perspective.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
I realized I was getting caught up in putting more focus on what I was lacking in certain areas and not enough on what was going right.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
It's important to note that I practice daily gratitude and am constantly checking my inner dialogue for negative self-talk. I'm always asking myself how I can shift my perspective to appreciation, positivity, and empowerment.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
But even with all of that, a few things were slipping under my radar.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Mindset, self-care, and self-growth are not a linear journey. You don't go through a transformation and then you're all set for life.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
You're a human with many facets and layers, and there are constantly going to be new variables introduced into your life that will challenge you in new, unexpected ways or cause old wounds to re-emerge.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
This doesn't mean you're regressing or "failing" — it's a totally normal part of the process.⁠⁣
⁠⁣

▽ Stay mindful of the areas where you feel the most pain, anger, and resistance.⁠⁣
▽ Honor those emotions, work through them, and then ask yourself in what ways are you allowing them to shape your perspective on life.⁠⁣
▽ Even if you've been practicing gratitude, are there parts to this particular situation that are still showing resistance to that perspective shift? Why?⁠⁣
⁠⁣
It may not be immediately apparent, but keep chipping away at it. The answers will come to you. 🙏🏻⁠

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱:⁣
⁣
There is a lot going on in our brain at any given moment and all that noise can make it hard to get in touch with our creativity.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
In fact, it can make us shut down altogether because of the overwhelming amount of information.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Journaling (especially daily) is one of the most effective ways to work through what’s on your mind quickly. It’s like unclogging a pipe.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Once you do a brain dump, you’ll find that things flow much more smoothly.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
You’ll feel lighter, less frazzled, and gain clarity on things that are bothering or blocking you. You’ll also clear the way for new ideas to start flowing so you can get out of a rut.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
If you aren't sure where to start, here are some prompts ...⁠⁣
▽ What am I feeling?⁠⁣
▽ What has been bothering me?⁠⁣
▽ I wish...⁠⁣
▽ I need...⁠⁣
▽ I want...⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Or start with WHATEVER pops into your mind, even if it’s fragmented or mid-sentence.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
Remember, it’s supposed to be a 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘶𝘮𝘱 so there is no pressure to “write well.” No one else will read it. You don't even have to *save* it. You can rip up or burn the pages if you're writing by hand or delete the document on your computer.⁠⁣
⁠⁣
The point is to get it out. To drudge up what's there, work through it, and free up space in your mind.⁠⁣
⁣
Try it. It’s like magic. ✨
