Happy New Year
Often we get to week 3 of the New Year and our Resolutions, that we so wanted to do, are starting to get less and less. Our motivation isn't as strong and its tiring keeping a new habit going, without any support and accountability. It's cold and dark and that morning run just isn't as appealing.
You have dieted for 3 weeks and you are hungry and really just want that biscuit that is just sitting there in that tin.
You have set up dates to meet more friends, you are doing well, but you are starting to doubt whether you can continue this new confident self.
This is when you need to really think about what is important to you and why? Where do you want to be by the end of the year? What is your drive, your goal, your passion and does it link to the resolutions your have set? Can you vidsualise it?
I have written out the journal prompts that I like to do at the start of the year but if you are losing your way now and starting to wonder what really matters to you, maybe this is an even better time.
Journal prompts for January 2023:
Take your time, in a quiet place to write and think. It can take about an hour.
Enjoy.
