This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

Write down something that you have been putting off doing?  Next write down the name(s) of someone who could help you and/or encourage you.  Write down a course or something you could sign up for that would teach you the skills you might need or in some way keep you on track.  Finally, write down something that you enjoy but don't let yourself do often that would fit as a reward for finishing or making progress toward this thing that you have been putting off.

This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

What are you hanging onto too strongly that isn't working?  What are you trying and hoping for that continues to allude you?  What is causing you pain because you just can't seem to make it work or bring this thing into your life?  Why isn't it working?  What can you do instead or what else can you do?  Is it possible that this is something you just can't bring into your life - at least not at this moment?  How can you let it go -at least for now?  What can you focus on that is already in your life?  What is the next best thing that you can achieve or focus on instead?

This Week's Journal Exercise

In your journal:

Chose something you would like to change.  What do you wish to do instead?  What can you do each day to practice this new trait?  Give yourself a goal.  How many times during the day will you try to practice this change?  Where are the best places to practice?  How will you reward yourself for reaching your goal?  What natural rewards will making this change bring?
