Hi everyone, welcome to my new series: Spiritual Sunday. For this series, every Sunday, we're going to do some spiritual journaling prompts consisting of one question per week. I'm going to delve deep and answer straight from the heart and hopefully this will help or resonate with someone. Feel free to journal along with me! 

Okay, so the first question is what do I want in life? And what are five steps I can take to achieve this? 

This is a hard question for me because I have so many answers! I want a lot out of life! Perhaps I'm greedy, but perhaps you understand too. I want health and happiness for me and my loved ones. I want to be successful and happy in a self employment situation that I love. I want to enjoy the little things in life and be content with simple pleasures. I want to be proud of myself and confident in myself. 

How to go about doing this? Well for health and happiness, I need to continue working on my physical health and mental health. I need to eat better, work out more, continue going to my check ups, all that good stuff. I'm good at taking care of my mental health, but my physical health needs to be taken better care of because I can slack off on that! 

I'm currently working on different avenues I can take to be self employed and make some money for myself and to take care of my needs better. I need to just work hard and be consistent and I know good things will happen for me if I just believe. So, that's what I'm going to do!

As for enjoying the little things in life and simple pleasures, I need to slow down and let myself enjoy them. Sometimes my brain is moving a 100 miles a minute and I don't acknowledge or see how great the little things are. Slowing down and letting myself enjoy them will be a great accomplishment for me. 

And now for the hardest one, being proud of myself and confident in myself. That's really hard for me because honestly, ever since my mental illnesses started, I haven't been proud of myself or confident in myself. I've gotten a little better at positive self-talk that I learned in therapy, so that's one good step. I just need to give myself grace and let me be proud of myself for little things and grow my confidence by taking care of myself more. That will help, I really do think so. 

What are your thoughts on this journal prompt? I'd love to read them and cheer you on! I hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday. Oh and look out for the Full Harvest Moon on October 1st! That's such a great way to kick off October! Full moon time is great for releasing negativities and opening yourself up to positivity. 

Until next time, take care and enjoy your Sunday,

Alette
