Let’s start to think about what is coming up for us and how we can shift our mind and patterns with a reframing exercise that we will do in the morning motivation but I have highlighted below for your reference:

• start to write down your negative self-talk

• for the whole day (or 2 days) pay attention to what you say (but that you don’t say out loud)

• Notice especially the things you say to yourself when you are upset. Write them down (even if they feel painful) because healing is facing the pain

• Perhaps carry your note book around or type them into a note on your phone

  • e.g. you ate 3 doughnuts for breakfast ‘I am fat, ugly, no will power’

• After, sit with your list and count up the regularity. Anything more than 2/3 of the same is a record you are playing over and over and reinforcing

• You can also rank most frequent to give you an idea of your predominant thought

• Write down an opposite and empowering phrase

• Then make more….it will help you to understand what you want from your life

• Then begin to reframe how you see things

We will touch upon reframing and NLP a little, however this is more linked to the 10 Day Reset on Mindset & Perspective, but it’s good to have some focus points for your journaling.

You don’t have to follow the above, it’s all a choice to see where you’d like to go with your journaling.
