This Week's and Next Week's Journal Exercise

What in your own life are you neglecting that is affecting your ability to be there for others? What are you pushing aside because you don't have time that affects your mental, physical and/or even financial ability to be there for others? How can you find balance between those things you need to do for yourself and what you want and need to do for others?

 

In your journal:

Think of a criticism you've received recently. Where did it come from? What was it based on? What was way off? What had a spark of truth to it? Who else has this same flaw? How can this criticism help you improve?

Last Week's and This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

If you could accomplish just one thing in the next year or learn to do just one thing well, what would it be? Do you currently give this area of your life priority? How much priority do you currently give this area of your life? Write down this area and section off a set time to work on it. Place your note somewhere where it will remind you how much of a priority it is for you.

 

In your journal:

Make a list of how you spend your week or days. Ask yourself what on your list, twenty years from now, will seem like a waste of time and what will seem like good use of time?

In your journal:

What time can you set aside to get something that's important to you done? What time do you have where you would not be bothered by distractions or how can you make sure there are no distractions? How can you make this time something that is not easily pushed aside with the first outside demand? Come up with something that will make you stick to it? For example, setting a regular time with a partner or creating a deadline that you isn't easily broken unless it's important. How can you prepare ahead of time so that you can make the most of the time you have carved out for yourself and be sure it's productive?

Last Week's and This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

Picture it finished.  Pick a goal you've been working on.  Write down what you think it will be like when it's finished.  Try to be as detailed as you can - though some of these details may change as you continue to work on your project.  Try to find some time each day, maybe when you lay down at night or in the morning, to picture what your project will be like when it is finished.
