Change Your Life in 30 Day or Less!
How can something as easy as writing down goals, wishes, dreams, hopes and a daily to-do list actually change your life? This sounds almost silly, doesn’t it? Yet it’s been proven time and again that what we focus on expands. So why not choose to focus on what you DO want in your life as opposed to what you don’t want? But thinking is not nearly enough, you’ve got to get it down on paper. And here’s why:
Keeping a journal is very cleansing and can go a long way in helping you to make changes! I used to keep a journal and wrote in it diligently every day. I would write down dreams I’d had the night before, tarot spreads I did for myself, thoughts, worries, goals, anything that came to my mind. Some people keep a journal for life, while others, like me, keep one until they feel they want to move on to something else. Usually, people tend to write in them when life isn’t going very well. It’s bit like counseling, who goes when they’re feeling great? I do feel a journal is an incredibly healing activity.
First, you’ll want to buy a notebook and pen. These can be as fancy or as simple as you’d like or can afford. I used a three-ring binder and bought notebook paper. I now have four 3″ binders filled with various notes! You don’t even want to see what’s on my computers. I’m a chronic list maker and note taker.
Once you have your notebook and pen, choose a time when you can write for a few minutes and not be interrupted. As a parent, these times are few and far between, but it’s essential for your healing so be certain to make time for this.
On the first page make a list of at least ten things you want in your life, writing them down as if they’re already in your life. Such as, “I’m in a wonderful and loving relationship. I have lost fifty pounds. I’m working in a job I love. I have an excellent income. I’m very happy, calm and at peace.” Whatever you need most in your life, write it down, but be sure it’s in the present tense. This will get the new and positive changes going in your life because it shows your subconscious the type of life you desire and sends energy out into the universe to get the ball rolling and get things into motion for you.
