How to get the most out of your journaling ?
🩷ACKNOWLEDGE

🩵CREATE
The method I’ve developed over the last 7 or so years to anchor myself into my journaling when I feel like I’m struggling is this!! ⬆️
Sometimes you can simply sit and write and it feels easy and therapeutic!
Sometimes you feel lost , confused and totally overwhelmed.
When you’re finding life too much the last thing you need to rely on for making you feel better is YOU 🫣
This is where having a SYSTEMATIC approach- a formula to ensure you do the thing that will help - becomes your best friend.
If I’m not coping I don’t want to have to make ANY decisions or choose what to do next.
This is where my 🩷A💚B🩵C method works every time.
It tells you what to write, what to focus on and how to unburden your busy brain.
In my workshops I talk you through the process and the science behind why it works.
Let me know if you think having a set system is something that might help you in your journaling journey.

🩷-WHAT
💚-I
🩵- DO
To accompany the other pinned post in my page introducing 🌸ME🌸.. I thought I’d add a “What I do” post too!!
As an ex-primary school teacher and lover of “ keeping it all simple “ I have developed over many years a step by step method of simple to do , easy to remember but OH SO POWERFUL practices .. based around the A,B,C letters.
💫The magic I believe in my practices lies in the very fact that they encourage you to go within and start to build trust and belief in yourself and your own abilities and self worth 💫
🧘🏼‍♀️Yes- there are so many valuable practices out there Yoga, Breathwork , Qi-gong, somatic healing , sound therapy, tarot .. the list is endless. There are wonderful practitioners, with years of study and qualifications in their field.. all of whom WILL help you if it’s the practice for you- and THATS where the secret lies… if it’s for YOU 🤔.
My 🩷A,🩵B, 💚C… practice is the stepping stone BEFORE the step into the thing that may transform your life.
My 🩷A,🩵B, 💚C.. is the practice that ensures YOU are at the heart of any practice you commit to.
Sometimes we can get lost in the ritual of something, stay in our “headspace “ when trying to solve problems and tackle challenges.. thinking our way to a better future.
My simple but effective 🩷A,🩵B, 💚C approach is a gentle, baby steps path within .. to the heart of ourselves.. to make sure you are the driving force of your own journey.
🧘🏼‍♀️We RELAX our bodies and mind first .
📝We then open the door to the subconscious with gentle prompts and journaling to see what lies within.
DM me or comment below.. ONE WORD that describes your hearts desires for your life moving forward… mine is in the comments

🌈THIS IS ME🌈
The person behind this account… I’m Sally , I’m 52 years old and an ex-primary school teacher with a passion for helping people navigate the stresses and struggles we all face .
I love this space, I love the connections I have made and the ability to share the methods I have developed over the years which support my own mental health and wellbeing.
What I don’t love so much 😆😫.. is the self promotion element!!!! But I know that it is the HUMAN interactions which are at the core of what I do 🩷 so I need to show everyone who I am !!
It’s hard to get across the many aspects of who you are in a short video( especially with my limited technical skills 🤪!) but I think I’ve got in a key few here.
🩷I am a confirmed “silly” person
🩷 I am getting braver as I get older
🩷 I KNOW everyone has the power in them to change their lives
🌈 I want to teach as many as I can to learn how to live their lives the way THEY want.
🌈 The power to navigate all life throws our way is within us all and I want to show you how.
I’d love to get to know you all better too.. I have plans for the new year.. virtual and real life gatherings… 🌟✨That’s where the magic happens ✨🌟.. I hope this made you smile and has intrigued you about what I’m all about. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out more 🩷

🍁Happy Monday folks 🍁
I hope you had a Gentle weekend and allowed yourself some peace and quiet at some point!! The message I have for our journaling this month also applies across all aspects of life- BE GENTLE WITH YOUR SELF!!! There’s enough harshness out there without us inflicting anymore from within too!!
🍁 You are far too precious and unique to crush with harshness!!
Today is all about asking a big question in a simple way and seeing if some unexpected jewels appear as you write!
We get told so much ‘Who we are’ by everyone else- given roles, titles EVEN our name in most cases - we don’t often stop to take a peek inside!!
📝So today I just want you to write I AM at the top of the page and see what comes- it could be the feelings you are feeling- the jobs you are doing- the values you are sharing - the place you have in the world. Whatever pops up , put it on the page and see who is hiding in there!!

🫧 Let’s start this Gentle Journaling October with a wonderfully simple word to journal on 🫧 Knowing what TRULY relaxes you is so important. Sometimes what we choose to label as relaxation is actually distraction - getting to know what a real state of relaxation feels like in your body can take time! For bodies that are crushed by stress, adrenaline and constant activity - stillness, peace and proper relaxation can feel DEEPLY uncomfortable.
🫧 I am not here to tell you to push through or beat yourself up- simply to start paying attention to what feels truly soothing to your body and soul… and do it OFTEN!!
📝 Write the word .🫧 RELAX 🫧 at the top of your page then simply list all the things you would do to achieve it!! No judgement but notice how your body feels writing different things - some will land a little differently to others … just start paying attention 😉

🍂I think we all need a break this month!
🍂No huge effort.
🍂No bracing yourself.
🍂No ‘I shoulds’.
🍁Just a tiny bit of tlc. 🍁
I promise you a month of tiny pockets of reflection. Two or three journal prompts a week- not even a daily requirement!! Small prompts - possibly just single words.
🍂The invitation to just write for a minute or two whatever the prompt brings up- no question, no judgement!!
🍁The world is loud and angry and sad. We are all absorbing this on some level - let’s give ourselves grace and space to release some of what we are taking on board.
📝 So my first tiny prompt is just this …
🍂 Today I feel …

As sad as endings are - we mustn’t forget they are always beginnings too. We might not want the new beginning at first and even be afraid or resentful of it- but new beginning it is!! And where there are new beginnings there is always possibility and hope. A blank page, an unwritten chapter! Let’s get into the habit of thanking each ending ( even the shitty ones- it’s still a part of you!) and saying “Welcome “ to each new beginning ( whether it’s one we’d choose or not) - giving it the benefit of the doubt to prove itself over time!! This isn’t meant to dismiss the very real, heartbreaking and desperately difficult chapters we all have to face in life- but a little perspective shift you can try every now and then to shift you into a state of gratitude which is like a spa day for your nervous system. It doesn’t have to be a permanent change- but even a glimpse of this approach will have fabulous ripple effects!!
📝 Today’s journal prompt is to write a list of things that have ended ( or are ending) in your life- on one side of the page !! Then gif each one wrote next to it one beautiful beginning that happened as a result ( or if it’s not happened yet what COULD be the new beginning that comes from it!! Get creative folks 💗

As we start a new week give yourself a small but mighty gift !!
This was the intention that came to me yesterday during the wonderful Full moon yin yoga and sound bath session ( see last post!!) and it feels so empowering everytime I think of it. My journaling this morning led me to think of all the layers and different ways I can do this. How we think about ourselves, how we talk about ourselves and most obviously how we show up for ourselves in the actions we take. Yes I know it’s not that simple - and when we need this attitude it’s most likely we are deeply unable to achieve it- BUT as always my advice is to just pause long enough to notice what’s going on and just monitor it for a while ( not forced changes here!!) - calm observation!! After all you can’t change what you don’t see!!
📝 Today’s journal prompt is this - Write out what ‘ honouring’ YOU would look like in an ideal world. If you can think about what you deserve write down how you would treat someone who is so precious to you! Then cross out their pronouns and replace with ME or I 💗💗. Read it back to yourself and see how you react!! Then for the next few days begin to notice how you actually show up for yourself and ask - is this good enough??

What a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning. Clare & Tess create a space that is something very special. Yin yoga, guided meditation and a sound bath- plus conversation and permission to just BE ✨ . This was a birthday present I bought for my mum but I feel like I had a gift too this morning- I left feeling so empowered and beautifully relaxed. I would highly recommend anything these two wonderful women offer .. please give them a follow and any of my Cornwall followers get yourselves along to one of their sessions.

In the spirit of the Aries full moon I am fully leaning into a period of time full of putting ME and MY needs front and centre ( as a recovering people pleaser this is highly challenging!!) We are all very good at monitoring how our actions impact others and can get comfortable adjusting our needs to suit those around us- not wanting to make ripples of inconvenience!! However noble this is, the long term consequence can be that,we actually forget what we would choose for our own needs and things that we choose for our conscience or comfort!!! Deciding to change this doesn’t mean turning into a raging narcissist over night but simply getting used to asking tiny questions when faced with options …
Who benefits from this?
Am I doing this for me or for keeping the peace?
Is this costing me energy or principles?
Is one option going to leave me feeling somewhat resigned to the outcome instead of excited or at peace ?
Checking in with how different options make you “feel” is a really good starting place on this journey to reclaiming your life!!
📝 Today’s journal prompt is this - we are taking inventory !! Look at any arrangements you have in your life ( work, socially, family or friends) - these can be roles you play, jobs or assignments you have , activities you are involved in, routines or rituals you have to be a part of- think things that you are ( in theory) able to say NO to or pull out of - but you know that would cause problems!!! Write down what would happen if you did exactly what YOU want in this situation. It could be as simple as choosing not do partake or it could be subtle adjustments like what you wear, time spent doing it, who’s incharge , HOW things are done!!!
Start undoing all the assumptions and just play around with creating a world to suit YOU!!’ This mental shift can help us begin to reclaim our energy and re-centre ourselves in our own life- not a ridiculous thing eh? 😉

Tomorrow’s full moon in Aries is a great time to pause and pay attention. Unless you have been living under a rock you can’t fail to notice ALL kinds of global truths being exposed!! We are talking on EVERY level of our lives- international, political, institutionally, musically, religiously, agriculturally - the list is endless!! Uncomfortable truths , truths that flip our worldview on its head!! Now is the time to start paying attention to where big truths are being revealed in your own world too. Start noticing how these truths feel in your own body and soul. Watch how they affect you and ask yourself why? This whole process is not about absolute right and wrong - it’s about discovering what truth looks and feels like for you. We always come back to my favourite mantra.. “ Know Thyself “ .. above all else this is the secret to life in my opinion ✨✨
📝 Today’s journal prompt is simply this - write a list of things you once thought were true and that have been proved not - and how this made you feel, and how it impacted your daily life. Now pick one thing in your life you consider a truth that limits or upsets you - rewrite it as if it’s just been exposed as false… and just notice how that feels! Now take that possibility thought off into your weekend and watch what happens 😉✨

A little prayer from me to you today 🙏
Words have power. How we speak to others and more importantly how we speak to ourselves matters. Words create feelings and atmosphere- internal and external impact. We can’t control what others say to us but we can have an impact on what we hear about ourselves in our own heads!! Use these words but reframe them as personal statements.. I am safe.. I am happy.. I am healthy… I live with ease 🙏. Even if some of these aren’t true right now … let’s speak it as if it is … that’s the magic ✨ Training the brain to believe new things takes time .. start small but do it often ✨
📝 Our journal prompt today starts by saying those personal statements out loud , then write them down … now write how they make you feel HONESTLY!! The good, the bad and the ugly!! Keep saying them to yourself for the next week and keep noticing your reaction too - no judgment just observation ✨
