I have created a 365-Day Journal Prompt book to coincide with my recently published book Finding Your Truest You!
The prompts can begin as soon as you receive the book, or on a specific holiday or you can wait til January.
It will cover topics addressed in my book like Authenticity, Healing, Spirituality, and Self-Love.
There is no right or wrong way to use the journal. Write every day or when the spirit leads you.
May these reflections bring you closer to peace, to purpose, and most of all, to Finding Your Truest You!https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17LzSbZiwx/
Peel away the societal expectations and external influences to embrace your inner rockstar! You are in control of your destiny and allowing what everyone thinks to define you or place you into a box is not living up to your full potential. Whatever your full potential is, do not let it be stifled by other people’s inability to see the true you. You make things happen. You push your limits. You step out of your comfort zone. You encourage other women to do the same and that is what makes you that ‘Fire in Your Soul’ Rockstar!
Do you need to remove your shades or do you simply need to open your eyes to certain things? Maybe you need to open your eyes to the beauty that is around you. But maybe you need to open your eyes to how someone may be treating you. Maybe you need to take the glasses aka blinders off. I think sometimes we choose to keep our eyes hidden for fear that we will see something that we suspected all along. A natural trauma response to avoid dealing with certain things is to simply act as though it doesn’t exist. If it doesn’t exist, it won’t be real and maybe the pain won’t be there. In order to get past the pain, sometimes we need to take the blinders off and face reality. Facing our situations head on, although likely uncomfortable, will allow us to move on past the trauma or thing you are hiding from. What do you need to open your eyes to today?
