#journaling
I’ve tried journaling so many times & I often fall off or am not consistent. This daily prompt has been the only one to work for me consistently so far. I found out about the fears & resentments list from a channel on YouTube called Crappy Childhood Fairy. It’s not only good for releasing “normal” day-to-day fears, but have helped me so much in healing my trauma that has been at work on a subconscious level.
Because a lot of the time (every day) Im healing a different aspect of my trauma, I felt it was needed to add in a list of things that Im proud of myself for & a gratitude list. It reminds me that I am further in my healing than I give myself props for & helps ground me in the present.
Another personal touch that helps me is listening to meditation music, rain sounds, or just about any relaxing music that will help me as I write and process ♥️
Another #selfhelp hack especially for those that have trouble organizing their thoughts ( like me) or have planners leftover from school.
How I make the prompt work for me is writing the fears/resentments [Step 1] on either a separate notebook or way in the back of the planner where the “notes” section is.
For [Step 2 ] Things I’m proud of myself for/Gratitude list- I use the boxes that are in the daily notes behind the calendar
For [step 3] “ I am” statements
I actually wait until Sunday to do. In the “ weekly to do” section I write a gratitude list based on the entire week & the in the empty box next to it I write my “ I am” statements to set the tone & energy of the upcoming week. *even if your handwriting is too big to fit info these tiny boxes, this layout is a great way to organize your thoughts*
Get creative!
Sketches with an old blue pencil.
A couple months ago I tried this watercolor pencils. It was a little bit expensive but I really loved! The colors are so pretty and fits perfectly with my style, and they’re so soft to paint and mix very well, sometimes I don’t even use water, just the pencils.
Alguns meses atrás eu comprei esses lápis aquareláveis. Foram um pouquinho caros mas eu gostei muito, achei que as cores são lindas e elas se encaixam no meu estilo de arte e estética preferida. :) Eles são muito macios e as cores se misturam tão bem que as vezes eu nem preciso usar água pra pintar.
Il y a quelques mois j'ai acheté ces crayons aquarelle. Ils étaient un peu chers, mais j'ai beaucoup aimé! J'adore les couleurs, sont très belles et elles vont bien avec mon style. Ils sont très doux et les couleurs se marient si bien que, parfois, je n'ai même pas besoin d'utiliser de l'eau pour peindre avec elles.
I made a letter with a cute bookmark for a friend. Hope she likes it (❁´◡`❁)
je t'aime éperdument, et je te le dis, et je te le répète, et mes paroles te l'expriment, et mes baisers te le prouvent, et quand j'ai fini… je recommence. je voudrais recommencer ainsi pendant l'éternité, et chaque soir, je regrette la nuit qui va s'écouler sans toi, et chaque matin, j'en veux au soleil de briller, comme aujourd'hui, quand tu n'es pas dans mes bras.

certain thoughts are prayers.
there are moments when,
whatever be the attitude of the body,
the soul is on its knees.
