Day 25 of journaling every day. Yesterday I wrote about how I was struggling to actually write anything. Today is even harder. As I shared yesterday, I got a ton done and a lot of it was standing and up on my feet. Turns out, I may have overdone it. My inflammation has been pretty bad all day today. I like list prompts for days when I don’t have the energy to write. I may not have the space or the energy for deep introspection, but I do have 5 minutes. Take 5-15 minutes and write about Make a list of things that make you feel comforted. What are the things that soothe and heal you? - a cup of tea, especially when someone makes it for me - in general being taken care of, especially while I’m working on something - taking a bath - warm stock/broth (clearly I’m feeling warmth and food oriented right now) - Felix - a nap - My parents bought Andrew a ceramic foot warmer from Cotswold and I kind of love it - fresh cut flowers - watching queer eye or great british baking show - listening to discworld audiobooks - the hand knit sweater and cardigans my mother and grandmother have made me - my compression gloves and ankle compression socks - candle light - the smell of certain incenses Alright, easy day, easy prompt, but I wrote and that is what counts. I’m proud of myself, and now I’m going to bed early. If you'd like to get these prompts directly to your email inbox and read my reflections, you can find them at https://allthejoyfulthings.beehiiv.com/ #timetosoar24
