30 Day Self-Care Challenge ~ Day 12 ~ Write in Your Journal

Today's thirty minute self-care exercise is to write in your journal. To my mind a journal is different from a diary, it's somewhere to explore emotions and ideas rather than record appointments and such.

You can write about anything you wish - this is your time. If you are really stuck for something to write, there are lots of ideas you can use to get your started. Here are a few simple prompts;
​

• look around the room and pick an object you really like - write about where you got it and why it appeals to you.
• think about your week - list three things that went well and three things that you would do differently.
• imagine you've been granted a whole day to yourself, no work, no chores and no responsibilities - plan your perfect day.
• Pick three friends or family members and then write down three words that you feel describes each of them best. Now think about how each of them would describe you - would they all use the same three words?
