"How to Cultivate Gratitude and Empower Your Life with Daily Affirmations"

We've read ALL the articles in ALL the online digital magazines encouraging and educating us on the benefits of daily journal practices. As much as I love my journaling practice to clear my head, build my dreams on paper to shift them into actionable goals. I find that empty page intimidating. I liken it to the terminology "stage fright".

Developing a consistent journaling ritual is paramount to self-discovery and unveiling your greatest potential. But where do you start? HERE!!!

I wrote this weeks blog with the memory of me, the former Tracy who struggled on those blank sheets, that just needed a quick prompt to kick start my journaling ritual. I've broken the next seven days down into days of the week with a single affirmation to provoke thought and followed with a question to be answered.

Find a quiet space, a comfortable chair, cushion, or even when you first wake in the morning. Set that timer, 10mins no less. This will support you in overthinking your response. Please keep in mind, NO ONE is to see this entry. This is your sacred papers. No answer is wrong OR RIGHT! What I mean by this is, todays answer is a projection of todays mindset. Our mindset can shift, deepen and evolve as time progresses. Odds are next month you will have a different response to these prompts. Which, btw, THAT'S THE POINT! You my beautiful friend have all the permission in the world to change and grow into the next iteration of yourself. I highly encourage it. This is the power of manifestation. I love you all so much, enjoy and please comment below if you feel inclined to share how these prompts assisted you.
