For a large part of last month, I was just going through the motions. Waking up whenever, eating whatever,
spending hours on my phone or on Netflix. This got old quick.
I knew I wasn’t happy with the way I was spending my time, but couldn’t muster up the motivation to do much
else. Conversations with family and friends reassured me that I wasn’t the only one feeling this way and gave me
the boost I needed to start holding myself more accountable. The first step for me is checking in with my thoughts
and feelings, as a way to gauge what exactly I want to change about them.
It doesn’t have to be a time-consuming process; gaining more insight into you, your feelings and thoughts, is the
only goal. Here are some of the ways to achieve this
- Answer some prompts if you don’t know where to start
-
What can I let go of that’s getting in the way of my health and well-being, that’s no longer serving or supporting me?
Have I been letting myself feel my feelings?
What can I learn from a mistake or not-so-great decision I made this week?
What am I feeling right now?
What’s one way I can play today or this week?
- Write out your feelings as they come to you.
- Prayer
- Meditation
- Talk through your feelings
-
Speak as if you were having a conversation with someone else.
- Talk to an actual person whenever you can.
-
Some of your greatest self-discoveries can come from
someone else’s insights that you may never have considered.
