- i write something small and beautiful for me. A little poem. It js a small pebble to put in my pocket. I make a little present and feel good. I feel love
my friend shared excerpts from her gratitude journal and it made me tear up. i’m saving them here to remember these feelings
(these are my small pebbles)
- i go in the cold water, burst of brightness and blood and energy. I move around held by the soft water. I focus on feeling
something else i’ve been thinking about is that when i journal, it’s usually to release a tension or flood of thoughts and i don’t think i take enough time to truly reflect on how to move forward, or how these thoughts impacts my sense of self or play into the bigger picture. like, when i read another friend’s newsletters, her introspections flesh out how her thoughts and actions impact others around her; how others perceive her; how it goes beyond just herself
not to say i’m journaling “wrong”, just made me think about journaling with more intention
- i take a walk and feel the sun and the air. I see something new, i touch tree trunks, i am held and present, at peace. I describe something deeply
i’m inspired to start noting what i hope for and what i’m grateful for
as an exercise:
- i had awful posture and didn’t drink a lot of water last week and it resulted in the worst tension headache. i did a yoga session to help me with the tension and felt better the next day
- i feel sore today after working out yesterday. it feels good to feel this way. i will work out more
- i smelled potato’s neck this morning, it smells like vanilla. when he wants head scratches he paws my face. he hasn’t barfed in two days and i hope it continues
- grateful for my weighted blanket everyday
p.s. after my last entry the new friend replied and all is fine
