Do you ever find yourself caught in the whirlwind of daily life, where juggling work, family, self-care, and your personal interests feel overwhelming? Trust me, you're not alone. Many of us lead lives brimming with tasks that leave us little time to stop and appreciate the small, precious moments.
That's where the power of gratitude comes into play. Cultivating a gratitude practice has been linked to greater happiness, increased positivity, and even improved health. But where do we start, right?
Here's the good news: For our third month of gratitude prompts, I've put together a list of five prompts for each week of July to inspire joy, resilience, and balance. Our collection of gratitude stickers and journals can make this process even more engaging and therapeutic. You can pair each reflection with one of our vibrant stickers, adding a touch of creativity and visual inspiration to your gratitude journey.
For an even more immersive experience, join me on our YouTube 'Journal with Me' series, where we journal together weekly. It's like journaling with a friend, sharing insights, experiences, and yes, even how we can decorate our entries using our beautiful Stickers By Rhonda!
Week 1: Achieving Balance - Reflect on one moment this week where you found a balance between your work and personal life. Was it an evening you reserved for a family game night, despite the pressing work emails? How did that moment make you feel? Let's focus on recreating such moments more frequently. Just remember - It's not about 'having' time, it's about 'making' time.
Week 2: Embracing Change - Let's think about a recent change you've experienced. Maybe you've started waking up an hour earlier for a quiet cup of coffee before the house stirs up. How has this new habit positively impacted your mornings? Embrace and appreciate the refreshing change. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small.
Week 3: Celebrating Progress - Identify a goal or task you've made progress on this week, even if it's small. Perhaps you finally cleaned out that messy drawer or finished reading a book you've been putting off. How did you make it happen and how did that progress make you feel? Celebrate the wins, no matter how big or small they are. Because every step forward is a step in the right direction.
Week 4: Appreciating Self-Care - Jot down a self-care moment you managed to have this week. Maybe you chose to meditate for a few minutes or treated yourself to a skincare routine. How did it make you feel? Let's ensure we put ourselves first regularly. Remember, self-care isn't selfish. It's necessary.
Bonus Prompt: Acknowledging Support Systems - Reflect on a person or a group that has supported you this past month. Perhaps a friend helped you with a task, or this community offered you encouragement when you needed it. How have they positively impacted your journey? Let's take a moment to appreciate their presence in our lives. Remember, we don't have to do everything alone. That's what our tribe is here for.
Sending you love and gratitude,
