Copy My Daily Mindset Work
Hello My Charmed Ones!
I’ve been feeling really good lately.
I mean like mentally, emotionally, spiritually!
I’ve just been feeling so good and positive and like life has been pretty effortless.
And I attribute this feeling to getting back into the habit of daily journaling.
Over the years I fall into and out of my daily journaling practice, and at the start of April I designed some new daily mindset work for myself and it really just clicked that daily habit back into place for me.
I think we all have those things, those habits we know are good for us and make a difference but sometimes we have a hard time sticking to it.
Well one of those habits for me is journaling daily, and what often makes daily journaling a hard habit for me to stick to is that I feel a lot of pressure to having something to write when I sit down to do the journaling itself.
When it comes to journaling, a blank page can have me stumped, but at the same time I know it’s so good to do it everyday.
So, having a framework for what I’ll be journaling really helps.
That is were my current daily mindset work comes in.
Don’t worry- I’m going to link it for you below because I give you full permission to copy it and use it for yourself!
This structure has worked so well for me because I am not just building that daily writing habit and getting my thoughts out of my head and onto paper, but also because this journaling structure is really great for identifying goals and rewriting limiting beliefs.
So, let me walk you through the structure and explain how to use it.
Top 3: This is were you will list out three goals you are currently focused on achieving. Even if you don’t think you can achieve them in the near future, write them out here. These should be your three highest priority goals.
Beliefs & Self-Talk: In this prompt I want you to think about each goal and identify what you would need to believe to be true of the world and/or yourself in order to attain the goal. Often our own beliefs of what is realistically possible end up limiting us. So, forget about being logical or realistic about your goals and decide what you need to simply believe and trust is possible for you in order to make your goal a reality.
Inspired Actions: Thinking about each goal as though it has already happened, what is the next action you feel inspired to take knowing you can’t mess things up because your goal is guaranteed. It might take you a moment to sit in the feeling of knowing, believing and trusting that your goal will be attained before the inspiration strikes. And the inspiration could be anything directly related to your goal or not. But if you get a sudden burst of inspiration to do something- that is the action you need to follow from your intuition in order to move towards your goal.
Now, that is the basic framework for the Daily Mindset Work and journaling I have been doing, but I also have been adding a few affirmations at the end of my practice as well.
Affirmations: Usually these are a clearer restatement of the beliefs and self-talk I wrote out earlier, but they could also be encouraging or inspirational words I feel like I need to hear.
You can’t mess this up, just try not to judge yourself as your journal and follow the lead of your instincts or intuition.
One more thing I want to remind you about this daily mindset journaling is that although it would be great for you to start your day with this work, the morning is not the only time you can do it.
I often do this work in the later part of the morning before starting my work tasks, or even in the middle of my day. And if I have a busy or distracting day that prevents me from being as present or intentional as I’d like- I will even break out my journal in the evening while watching tv, eating dinner, or even in bed before I go to sleep.
The thing about having a daily habit is that you do it every day, even if you can’t do it at the same time every day.
Getting it done is the most important part.
AND if you are curious, the notebook I have been using to do this Daily Mindset Work in has been the CEO Journal.
It’s a notebook I designed with a date selection grid at top and a squared page layout that is perfect for journaling, note taking and even bullet journaling if you want to plan with it.
The pages are numbered too!
You can get your copy on Amazon for what I believe is a very reasonable price.
I sincerely hope this Daily Mindset Work helps you to establish the habit of journaling in your day, and helps you to feel that same sense of ease, flow and happiness I’ve been experiencing for the last month.
Let me know how your practice goes!
xoxo,
