Interestingly enough, that’s where this message begins.
Sometimes, my heart wants to write and share with you, but my mind doesn’t know what to write.
This is one of those times.
I want to write a message to you.
I’d love to have a conversation with you.
But I don’t know what to say.
Which is funny because other times someone can ask me a question and a whole page of response comes out … and it all usually circles back to one thing, but I go deep on that one thing and added reasons why and all kind of extra, backup info, when it still often comes down to one main thing.
Any-who … I may not know what to write today, but I DO know this …
1. My wish is for you to FEEL supported.
2. May you also FEEL encouraged today.
3. I want you to KNOW someone believes in you.
4. I hope you come to believe, in every fiber of your being, that you are more capable than you know.
5. You ARE worth it. Whatever it is … you’re worth it. Because you are. Because you’re meant to go for the thing you’re going after and shooting for right now.
Let go of the doubt.
Let go of the frustration.
Let go of thinking you can’t do it.
Let go of beating yourself up.
Let go of any guilt you might be feeling.
Let go of discouragement.
Let go of feeling defeated.
Because you’re not done yet!
Take a moment.
Breathe in deeply.
And let it all go as you let that breath out.
Do it again.
One more time if you need to.
Settle in to … you.The capable you.
The believing you.
The hopeful you.
The UN-defeated you.
What new thoughts are coming to your mind right now?
What different feelings are you feeling right now?
Write it down.
Journal it out.
If you need a space to reset daily, the Gratitude Journal is a great space to do that.
It’s how I start my day every day. With gratitude.
Even I fell off the “bandwagon” for a bit, but I began to understand that process in a new way and it is now how I start every morning.
If you need a space to reflect in more positive ways … instead of letting thoughts of defeat, doubt, or discouragement fester, the Think Like a Champ is a great way to build that habit and shift those thoughts.
Because guess what?
Discouragement will circle back from time to time.
Feeling defeated is human when you’ve BEEN “defeated” in some way.
But this journal gives you a chance to focus your thoughts differently.
It’s a powerful practice that I, not only practice when I journal, but practice throughout the day whenever those kinds of thoughts or feelings pop up.
You don’t have to wait until you have a journal to address them.
In fact, some of the journal prompts in there are designed to help you get to know and understand what helps you feel more at peace or more at ease in ANY moment.
Plus, Think Like a Champ has some words of encouragement sprinkled throughout the pages for you 🙂

Enjoy !
P.S. – Seems I wrote a LOT for not knowing what to write ^.^ Sometimes, you don’t have to have all the answers, or know how it’s all going to work out, you just have to start and ask God to lead you as He blesses what it is you do <3
