Throwback Thursday: Ways to Move Forward During Uncertain Times

This week's Throwback Thursday, Something I've only done once before, is the perfect thing to reflect on. Even though this came from a full Moon Practice I do believe this is the perfect time to do this reflection. I hope you enjoy this week's episode!
Throwback Thursday:
Recently, I created some journal prompt for the Soul Aligned Self Care Insiders group on Patreon for the full moon and how empowering it was for me. It was so empowering that I want to share with you. These prompts have been incredibly powerful for me, helping me to delve deep into my feelings and intentions during some disruptive and uncertain times.
Journaling has become a vital part of my self-care routine, allowing me to explore and release outdated societal expectations that no longer serve me. It's been a journey of embracing joy and learning to navigate life's disruptive changes with calm and intention. The energy shifts I've experienced have been profound, and having a supportive community has made all the difference.
I encourage you to try journaling as a way to connect with yourself on a deeper level. It's a beautiful practice that can lead to greater alignment and self-awareness. Let's continue to support each other on this path of self-discovery and growth.
What I talked about today:
- Significance of the recent full moon and its impact on personal reflection.- Empowering journal prompts for self-exploration and alignment.- Shifts in global energy and personal experiences during the pandemic.- The importance of self-care and community in navigating life changes.- Challenging outdated societal norms related to work and productivity.- The value of lifelong learning and personal education outside traditional paths.- Strategies for letting go of outdated beliefs and habits.- The necessity of being present and recognizing personal joy.- Trusting and honoring the body's natural rhythms for better health.- The role of community in fostering resilience and joy during isolating times.
The Journal Prompts:
How can I let go of the energy of always chasing and allow myself into receiving?
How can I move forward in a practical calm way supporting living my life in joy while experiencing disruptive shifts and change around me?
How can I let go of the old ways of doing things in this world that are outdated and don’t serve me and society on a whole that will allow me to shift into things that allow me to enjoy my life?
How can I be more present with myself, so I know when I’m experiencing what brings me joy, peace, and comfort in my life?
How can I trust the rhythms of my body and honor those instead of what is expected of me in society?
