I’ve been journaling regularly for the past five years, and it has been such a gift. I’ve learned so much about myself, my hopes, dreams, and why I do the things I do. It’s been eye-opening, to say the least.
This prompt is a twist on the traditional gratitude list, and I think it’s a great way of looking at things from a new angle.
One thing I’ve noticed is my habit of tolerating things that I shouldn’t accept. It’s because I’m human, of course. I get in my comfort zone, and it’s easier to go with the flow than to challenge things.
I’ve noticed that as I get older, I have to put more thought and effort into having fun. It doesn’t come as naturally as in childhood (my thoughts tend to drift towards work, responsibilities, and big decisions).
As the saying goes, “Nothing in nature blooms all year, and neither do you.” There are seasons in life, and self-awareness about your current season is a gift.
