Absolutely, here are a few more journal prompts for self-discovery: Prompt : “List down the top five moments in your life that have shaped you into the person you are today. Reflect on each moment and write about how it has influenced your beliefs, values, and behavior.” Prompt : “If you could have a conversation with your younger self, what advice would you give? What lessons have you learned since then that you wish you knew earlier?” Prompt : “Describe a situation where you were proud of how you handled it. What does this say about your strengths and values?” Prompt : “Imagine your life 5 years from now. Where do you see yourself? What are you doing? Who are you with? How do you feel? This can help you understand what you truly want in life.” Prompt : “Write about a time when you faced a significant challenge. How did you overcome it? What did you learn about yourself in the process?” Remember, there are no right or wrong answers in journaling. It’s all about self-exploration and un...

I am having menopause symptoms of period changes, feeling bloated, feeling anxious, irritability, depression and joint pain.  I am not sure if this is a symptom of peri- menopause or menopause but I wake up during the night between 3am and 4:30am.  I do exercise and lift weights.  But the higher that anxiety is the more I FORGET to stop at 30 minutes. I swear to god. But the higher that anxiety goes, the harder I workout! I swear!   That last rating the last experience or whatever you want to call it was hurricane Beryl, that anxiety was about a 10 and the depression was about a 3. I will let you know if that depression or anxiety goes up any higher than that. Either by writing it down or by word of mouth if I am am able.  I believe that I was in peri-menopause about 10 years ago--- which would have put me at 40 years old in 2014?  I have a card about SM I will put down below.  Apparently any women who has a severe anxiety disorder, does have seve...

Please be cautious because I am about to talk about AJ. Don't worry. It's all good.  No, I do not judge people and the way that they act or don't act. I think I screwed that up didn't I?  Anyway, here goes.   Write about a person who has significantly influenced your life. How have their words or actions shaped you? If you could say anything to them right now, what would it be ? Aj had significantly influenced me in alot of ways. He was there for me in my darkest days and I was there for him too.  He says he helped me through a depression and I tried to help him when he was in a depression state.  That last time he came back to me, he told me encouraging things that I can do. He was just a friend to me. The flowers and candy were to teach me how to love and care for myself.   I knew as well as he knew that I couldn't just run off and do things on my own.  I have selective mutism and the courts are involed.  The courts just want to make sure t...

What are three things you would do if you weren’t afraid? How might your life be different if you did these things?    First, I would ask if I have had the money. Then I would ask how much money do I have.  Then I would ask can I get an apartment if it was okay with mom and dad. Describe a time when you felt proud of yourself. What had you done, and why did it make you feel proud?  When I asked someone to get something down for me from a high shelf in the store.  I felt so proud of myself. If you could have a conversation with your younger self, what advice would you give? Why?    If I had a conversation with my 5 year old self, I would tell her that it would be okay.  You are okay.  You are brave enough to speak up for yourself to that red headed little kid that was just my age back then. Yes, I really did like him when I was in kindergarten. What are the values that are most important to you? How do you incorporate these values into your da...

This journal prompt I ask Co-pilot to assign me.  Here goes.   “Imagine you could have a conversation with any person, living or deceased. Who would you choose, and what would you talk about? Write down the conversation as it unfolds in your mind.” This prompt encourages you to explore your thoughts and feelings about this person and the topics that are important to you. Enjoy your writing journey!  I have conversations with people in my head all the time!  This latest one is with mom about a type of salad dressing that creamy.  It is called Creamy Ranch.   I have salad dressing that was sitting in my shelf of my pantry.  I never put it in the refrigerator until after I open it.  I guess it is okay and not spoiled.   Another conversation.  I wish I could have jotted it about what it was about.  It was when we were on our way to my sister's house for the 4th of July.  Next time I will write it down in my blog as am min...

OMG!  I don't know where to start.  As hurricane Beryl moved closer to the gulf of mexico.  I was getting anxious that we would be going to a concert in the middle of a hurricane.  The Blockheads already go to see them in the rain.  When they first reunited, it was raining.  I can imagine that the stage was slippery.  I worried about their safety.  They were fine.   As hurricane Beryl moved in closer, I was getting nervous.  I would say that the anxiety was about a 10.  The depression was about a 3 but that is beside the point.
