Hi
How was October for you?
Here in London, the clocks have gone back which means longer nights and darker mornings.
I am not a fan of the colder, damper, darker weather however, I'm trying to make a conscious effort to close 2019 on a brighter note, especially as I was recently reminded that not only are we approaching a new year, but also a whole new decade.
Despite uncertainty around the world, and actually in my own life, I can't help feeling excited. It feels like I'm being given a brand new canvas to create and manifest whatever I chose to. And the same goes for you too.
How are you feeling about the recent and upcoming changes: a new season, new year and new decade?
Here are a few journaling prompts, including a poem by Maya Angelou, that you may want to use to explore how you're currently feeling:
- With the change of season I feel...
- When the clocks go back...
- Approaching a new year makes me think/feel/want...
- 2020 is a whole new decade and...
- Uncertainty and change make me feel...

Having a mani and pedi, treating yourself to afternoon tea or spending the weekend at a spa are indeed lovely acts of self-care that we all deserve.
However, because it is important to make self-care part of our daily life, we also need acts of self-care that are simple, practical and affordable.
Thankfully, there are lots of daily activities that if we engage with mindfully, can be considered acts of self-care.
And for many of them, you don’t even have to leave your bed!

If you type “journaling prompts” into Google, you’ll get pages and pages of prompts to choose from, but, most will be lists of journaling prompts that are word-based such as questions and quotes.
Some people, however, respond more vividly to images than words.
