free journal prompts – Individual Empowerment

As I embark on an adventure in Costa Rica, I have started journaling what I need for the next six weeks. Whether you are going on an adventure or just need more support in your daily life, I encourage you to start journaling. Write and manifest the support you need for your emotional and physical health.

What do I need to feel loved?
Am I receiving sufficient support from myself?
Which of my needs require support from others?
Who can I call for support when I feel sad or apathetic?
Which people in my network are able to support specific goals?
How can I reach out to my support system? Via phone, text, email or in person?
How much alone time do I need and how much socializing do I need?
Which self-care tools do I enjoy the most?
Do I need to set stronger boundaries? If so, where?

These are just a handful of questions that can help you focus on what you need. You don’t have to answer all at once, but the deeper you dive into your self-care/recovery work the more you benefit. This is a journal prompt you can do more than once. Bookmark this page in your journal to remind you that is okay, in fact it is necessary to feel supported and to ask for support when you need it.

Peace and hugs, Leah

Food is so ingrained in our daily lives that it’s easy to eat without being mindful of what exactly we are putting in our bodies. This week I encourage you to pay close attention to your diet.

My diet used to revolve around three goals; eat to be full, buy the cheapest food, and buy tasty/comfort food. When I chose to spend a month not eating meat, I noticed changes in my body. For me, eating vegetarian felt better. I had more energy and didn’t feel indigestion as often. I chose to stick with a vegetarian diet. As my knowledge about food progressed, I begun to pay more attention and eventually cut out dairy because it doesn’t agree with me.

Now I choose to be more picky when it comes to what I consume. My diet revolves around three new goals; eat nutritious food, buy organic as often as possible, and be conscious of the waste created by my food choices.

Here are some notes and questions to cultivate a mindful food practice:

When eating, slow down and savor the taste and texture of your food.
Notice whether you have a preference for salty or sweet foods.
Notice how different foods make you feel.
Why are you eating? Is it because you are hungry, anxious, or bored?
Do you eat on a schedule or do you often skip meals?
Do you snack without thinking or plan your snacks ahead?
Are you eating for nutrition or comfort?

If you want to dive deeper into what you consume, journal about your food for a week or a month. Record what, when, how and why you eat, and how your diet makes you feel.

Peace and hugs, Leah
