Finding quiet time to journal is a helpful way to explore the areas of our lives that we would like to improve.
By Peggy Lindsey
Problems seem to arrive in two different ways. The first comes as a complete surprise we did not see coming that hits us like a ton of bricks. The second is like the slowly brewing storm whose weight challenges our life every day. The problems themselves come in all shapes and sizes and fall under every category, but the critical ones needing the most attention are all about YOU.
It’s time to get really honest with ourselves. We all dream of living a fairy tale life, and that’s perfectly okay, but we know there are conditions that first need to change. Do you know what those are in your life? What keeps you awake at night? What causes you emotional pain every time you think about it? What shuts you down in a split second? In what way is your heart and soul begging you to adjust?
It often helps when we can take inventory. I invite you to find some quiet time and sit down with a tablet or journal. Take a deep breath and deeply explore each of these topics one by one, writing down everything that comes up for you: 1) Relationships/Family, 2) Career, 3) Finances, 4) Physical Well-being, 5) Emotional Well-being, 6) Mental Well-being, and 7) Spiritual Well-being.
Which of these are areas for improvement? Are you ready to make some changes? More importantly, what are you willing to do to change them? Facing these very important questions allows us to evaluate where we are with each situation. In some areas you may be ready to immediately begin to make adjustments. Others may need more time to gain clarity on where you wish to be.
As Reinhold Niebuhr reminds and encourages us, “Change is the essence of life; be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.” Wherever you are in life’s situations, be willing to allow changes that lead to your greater happiness and fulfillment. You are so worth it!
