Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Today, let’s talk about journaling to heal within. Journaling allows you to gain clarity inside and out. Journaling also helps you to make positive changes in your life. If you allow it, journaling will offer you a glimpse into your soul in its purest form. Before we get started, please make sure you have the following:

An open mind; Meditation ready
Willingness to express oneself; Eager to move from one place to another freely
Humble and caring spirit; Broken soul
Journal or Notebook
Pen or Pencil

I want to encourage you to pause for a moment and look within. Create awareness of your overall energy, how you feel and what you’re thinking. Believe it or not, journaling can be another form of self-reflection. Journaling can make you aware of negative patterns in your behavior so you can focus on the present moment. Journaling is an effective way to accelerate your emotional healing.

BENEFITS OF JOURNALING

Journal writing, when it becomes a ritual for transformation, is not only life-changing but life-expanding. – Jen Williamson

What’s the message that you need on today? What is it that you need to focus on within your life, right now, in this very moment? During your lifelong journey, it’s important for you to speak positive words into your soul. Despite the hurt you may feel or the sadness you experience in life, often times you forget that the power to overcome life’s challenges is already inside you. If you feel lost or defeated, it’s because the heart and mind are not working in harmony, when they work together you will find peace. There’s a lot of benefits of journaling, but here’s a few that I want to share with you.

Journaling:

Helps you think more critically about your life
Reduces stress and anxiety by keeping you in the present moment
Allows you to recognize and release negative thoughts and feelings
Increases your happiness in life and improves your mood
Encourages inner peace and a feeling of well-being
Provides self-discovery, self-awareness, and moments of reflection
Helps you gain clarity in your life, better memory
Increases creativity, positivity, and mindfulness
Builds resilience and confidence
Helps to organize and process your thoughts and feelings
Improves your sleep and overall mental wellness

As you can see, making the decision to practice journaling will bring mindfulness, peace, and emotional healing into your daily routine.

JOURNALING TIPS

Journal writing gives us insights into who we are, who we were, and who we can become. – Sandra Marinella

There is no wrong or right way to practice journaling, just write! Journaling is a great way to release emotions so you can be in a better headspace. Include journaling in your daily routine so you can heal any emotional, physical or mental wounds that may have been caused by negativity from others or internally. Here’s some great journaling tips to help you get started:

Tip 1 – Create a safe place to write; Declutter your space; Add your preferred lighting and scented candles; You should feel good, happy and calm in your writing space
Tip 2 – Let it all out; Allow your thoughts to flow freely and write about anything
Tip 3 – Dedicate time and write regularly; Try to write in your journal on a regular basis; Every day is ideal
Tip 4 – Try new things; Move out of your comfort zone; Try things that make you happy; Write letters to yourself or to loved ones (past or present)
Tip 5 – Don’t get too negative; Shift your writing in another direction; Avoid rereading your negative writing, but instead have a balanced point of view

What’s your story or experience? It’s important to allow yourself to feel and to express yourself honestly throughout this process. For example, I survived throughout my journey because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me. I had to reflect on scriptures that were hidden in my heart in order to rise up above my problems, situations, depression, sadness, hurt, etc. Remember, this is a personal journey. It’s important for you to find your safe place and surround yourself with God’s love, peace, and joy.

7 Ways To Create Healthy Boundaries

LaPorterJanuary 17, 20221 Reply

Healthy boundaries are not walls to block others out. They are barriers that set us free to love the right people, most importantly ourselves. – Ann Lesuer

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! I want to pause to say HAPPY MLK DAY! Hope you plan to reflect on how you can keep Martin Luther King’s dream alive. For me, I will continue to treat everyone with love and respect no matter the color of their skin. Also, I will continue to speak up when people of color are not treated fairly. It’s a shame that we are still speaking about this matter in 2022, but it is our reality.

How has 2022 been treating you so far? I have to be honest there’s a few areas of my life that have been stressing me out lately, but I continue to move forward each and every day. One area in particular that concerns me the most is the idea of setting personal boundaries to protect my mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health. With that in mind, I want to share ways to create healthy boundaries within your current lifestyle. Although, creating healthy boundaries can be empowering and life changing, this process will also help you to:

Honor your personal values and beliefs.
Communicate your needs in a relationship.
Make time and space for positive interactions.
Set limits in a relationship in a way that is healthy.
Strengthen your inner self, mind, body, and spirit.

When you recognize the need to set and enforce limits that impacts your life in a positive way, you not only feel a sense of freedom, but you also improve your self-esteem, maintain self-respect, and enjoy healthy relationships along the way.

DEFINE BOUNDARIES

Boundaries are limits you set for yourself that determine what you will or won’t participate in. – Unknown Author

Before going any further, let’s take a moment to define boundaries.

Boundaries (noun):

Guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify for themselves what are reasonable, safe and permissible ways for other people to behave around them and how they will respond when some people steps outside those limits.

It’s important to note that unhealthy boundaries may cause emotional imbalances in your life that can lead to dependency of alcohol or drugs, depression, anxiety, or other stressed-induced physical illnesses. However, if you commit to creating healthy boundaries within your lifestyle, you will:

Have good mental and emotional health.
Develop your own personal identity.
Avoid mental, emotional, and physical burnout.
Influence others’ behavior.
Improve self-awareness.
Maintain healthy and friendly relationships.

Remember, to always strive to live a well-balanced life throughout this process. I want to share the following barriers you may experience if you don’t establish healthy boundaries within your lifestyle:

- Fear of rejection.
- Fear of abandonment.
- Fear of confrontation.
- Feeling guilty.
- Lack of understanding.
- Safety concerns.
- Poor self-esteem.

BENEFITS OF CREATING HEALTHY BOUNDARIES

I allow myself to set healthy boundaries. To say no to what does not align with my values, to say yes to what does. Boundaries assist me to remain healthy, honest and living a life that is true to me. – Lee Horbachewski

Creating healthy boundaries is an important aspect of loving one-self and practicing self-care. Many people strive to understand the benefits of creating healthy boundaries throughout this fascinating journey called life. It’s important to have a set of values, principles, morals, and beliefs that provide a sense of purpose and meaning to life, then using those principles to guide your actions. Finding meaning and purpose may be a lifelong process for most people that evolves based on unique circumstances or individual life experiences.

The benefits of creating healthy boundaries allow you to:

Improve your self-esteem and self-respect.
Establish trusting relationships with others.
Protect your physical and emotional space.
Establish an equal partnership where responsibility and power are shared.
Separate your needs, thoughts, feelings, and desires from others.
Recognize your boundaries and needs are different from others.
Empower yourself to make healthy choices and take responsibility for yourself.

Keep in mind that it’s natural to experience a variety of emotions, such as hope, forgiveness, acceptance, doubt, fear, disappointment, or conflict along the path to creating healthy boundaries. Just be open, honest and allow yourself to feel all of the emotions that are taking place throughout your journey.

HOW TO CREATE HEALTHY BOUNDARIES USING SELF-CARE

A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect. – Unknown Author

So, how do you create healthy boundaries while living your best life? The answer is quite simple. You must practice and implement a consistent self-care routine. Self-care is nourishment for your entire soul, mind, body, and spirit. Self-care can also help people become the best version of themselves when they learn effective ways to navigate through life.

Here’s some great ways to create healthy boundaries in your life using self-care:

Clearly define your desired boundaries and limitations to protect your well-being.
Communicate well while keeping your personal needs and values in the forefront.
Give yourself permission to express how you feel in any given situation.
Keep it simple and don’t feel the need to over explain yourself to anyone.
Seek positive support from people you trust.
Be assertive and bold when expressing yourself to others.
Set consequences and voice your concerns when people fail to respect your boundaries.

Learning to create healthy boundaries takes time and effort on your part. Set your healthy boundaries in your own time frame, not when someone else suggest you do so. Give yourself permission to take time out for you. From time to time, make an appointment with yourself. Don’t wait for good moments to arise, they rarely come. Plan your time wisely and create healthy boundaries that help nurtures your mind, body, and spirit. Peace, love and blessings!

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Let’s Welcome Autumn in with a life changing discussion centered around journaling for life’s purpose.

Soon after, the weather will become much cooler and we will see sunlight less and less each day. During this time, it’s important to grab your journal to capture every moment.

5 Tips To Improve Your Goal Setting Skills

Renew Inspiration, Goal Setting Skills — Renew Inspiration

Your ability to discipline yourself to set clear goals, and then to work toward them every day, will do more to guarantee your success than any other single factor. – Brian Tracy

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Let’s begin September with a positive discussion to help improve your goal setting skills. When I think of improving any kind of skillset, you must be willing to make changes in your life that are sometimes difficult or uncomfortable. We’ve all been there. We set high expectations for ourselves when setting personal goals, but we don’t have a solid plan in place to reach them.

S.M.A.R.T. GOALS

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible to the visible. – Tony Robbins

Well, how do you start? First, you should set some personal S.M.A.R.T. goals for yourself.

Here’s what S.M.A.R.T. means:

S – SPECIFIC – What do you want to accomplish?
M – MEANINGFUL – Why is this goal important to you?
A – ACTIONABLE – What steps will you take to achieve it?
R – REALISTIC – What is the action-oriented verb?
T – TIME ORIENTED – By when do you want to achieve this goal?

Example of my S.M.A.R.T. goal:

Simple Goal – I want to improve my health.
Smart Goal – I will improve my health by eating 100 grams of protein, at least 3 fruits/veggies, drinking 64oz of water and exercising daily. In addition, I will track my food intake and exercise too. Then, spend time reflecting and readjusting as needed.

5 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR GOAL SETTING SKILLS

Life takes on meaning when you become motivated, set goals and charge after them in an unstoppable manner. – Les Brown

Next, you need to write down your goals to clarify and strengthen your daily intentions. Break down your goals into small and manageable steps to overcome any anxiety you may have. Then, hold yourself accountable by maintaining focus and discipline throughout the process.

Create realistic goals. Be realistic about what you want to accomplish. It’s easy to give up when goals are too ambitious. Consider making small changes and add on when you’re ready.
Write out a plan and keep track. Hold yourself accountable by tracking your progress.
Set smaller goals along the way. Smaller goals will keep you motivated and focused on the task at hand.
Reward yourself for milestones. Stay motivated by rewarding yourself for the achievements you hit along the way.
Don’t get discouraged. Never let minor setbacks define your progress. Remember each day allows you to start fresh again.

Remember, rewarding yourself will help reinforce the positive actions you’ve taken so you can continue doing it every day. Effective systems and habits make it easier for you to accomplish your goals on a regular basis.

MAKE A PLAN

The harder you work for something, the greater you’ll feel when you achieve it. – Unknown Author

Next, after you establish your goals, now it is time to create and follow a plan to make your goals a reality. Here’s some important items to keep in mind during the planning process:

Make clear and concise deadlines for achieving your goals.
Set personal milestones to stay motivated.
Decide what actions are required to reach your goals.
Put your actions into a schedule that is easy to follow.
Readjust your goals or plan as you see fit throughout your journey.

Don’t expect to see change if you don’t make one. In order to stay inspired to reach your personal goals, you have to give and receive remarkable influence over your life. You have to work hard and show your passion for whatever you set your heart out to do. You have to surround yourself with like-minded people, so you will feel the positive synergy around you. So, what are you waiting for? Use these helpful tips and suggestions to improve your goal setting skills today.

SELF-REFLECTION & JOURNAL PROMPTS

Set some goals, then demolish them. – Unknown

Journaling is a powerful way to process events in your life, build self-awareness, get more clarity, and keep yourself on track. Journaling also allows for past reflection, future insight, and present surrender. Upon entering the journaling process, you will find that you are able to reflect freely without judgement. Now, close your eyes and clear your mind. Grab your pen/pencil. Open your journal or notebook. Then, use these helpful journal prompts to help you enjoy your journal writing experience.

7 Self-Care Tips for Grief

LaPorterAugust 16, 20212 Replies

Renew Inspiration, Self-Care, Grief — Renew Inspiration

Self-care is giving the world the best of you, instead of what’s left of you. – Katie Reed

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Let’s discuss some ways that you can cope with grief by practicing self-care regularly. So, what is self-care? According to The Self-Care Solution written by Suzy Reading, self-care can be defined as any life-giving activity that restores, sustains or improves your health.

WHY SELF-CARE IS IMPORTANT

Give yourself the same care and attention that you give to others and watch yourself bloom. – Unknown Author

Self-care is nourishment for your mind, body and spirit. Self-care can also help people become the best version of themselves when they learn effective ways to navigate through life.

Suzy Reading provides 3 reasons why self-care is important:

Stress is not going to go away. Stress is a normal part of life. In fact, life would be boring without some stress to keep us on our toes, right?
Stress has a cumulative effect. Stress can add up very quickly so make sure to plan for regular pressure releases throughout your day. For example, go for a walk, do a stretch routine or meditate.
Too much stress is dangerous. It’s a fact that too much stress makes us ill and greatly diminishes our ability to enjoy life.

7 SELF-CARE TIPS FOR GRIEF

Self-care is how you take your power back. – Lalah Della

Let’s be honest. It’s hard to think about yourself when you’re experiencing grief. There’s so many thoughts, feelings and emotions swirling around in your head all at once. Unfortunately, grief takes over your reality and your own needs tend to fall by the wayside.

Here’s 7 self-care tips for grief that can help you keep a calm mind, body and spirit:

Tip #1 – Breathe Mindfully – Take time to breathe slowly and focus on your natural breath. This process will put your mind in the present moment.

Tip #2 – Be Kind to Yourself – Being kind to yourself has tremendous healing power. Treat yourself as you would treat a beloved friend. Give yourself space to feel the pain of grief and allow your heart to break.

Tip #3 – Let Yourself Cry – If you feel the need to cry, then let your tears flow. Crying is a gate way to your total healing experience.

Tip #4 – Pray and Meditate Regularly– Despite how bad you’re feeling inside, it’s important to spend time in prayer and meditation. This process will help clear your mind and keep you in the present. Consistency is key so start with 10 to 20 minutes per day.

Tip #5 – Connect with Others – No matter how difficult it may be, it’s important for you to have interaction with people you trust. However, if you feel like your support system has fallen apart, then find a compassionate grief counselor or therapist to speak with.

Tip #6 – Move Your Body – Push yourself to move your body. Take a walk outside, practice doing yoga or try a new exercise class. Exercise does the whole body good. Exercise will help you sleep better and offer you a healthier option to release stress during this difficult time.

Tip #7 – Express Yourself Through Creativity – Allowing yourself to spend time writing in your journal, drawing, coloring or knitting can help you focus on activating your creative side of your brain.

As you can see, grief can manifest itself physically, mentally, and emotionally. If you are not careful, grief can throw off your whole life balance and really have an effect on your future health.

SELF-REFLECTION & JOURNAL PROMPTS

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure. – Oprah Winfrey

What was the last self-care thing you did?
What is one thing you need to let go?
What is one way you like to recharge your energy levels?
What is holding you back from improving your lifestyle?
How can I honor my body on today?

Give yourself permission to take time out for you. From time to time, make an appointment with yourself. Don’t wait for good moment, they rarely come. Plan your time and fill it with something that nurtures your head, heart, and body. Peace and blessings!

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS & COMMENTS

Let’s talk. As you can see, self-care is not selfish, but it is necessary to help keep us calm throughout life. How important is self-care to you while you grieve? What would you like to include in your daily self-care routine? Please share your thoughts in the comments section. I look forward to reading your feedback!

7 Simple Steps To Improve Self-Control

LaPorterAugust 1, 20218 Replies

Renew Inspiration, Improve Self-Control, Goals — Renew Inspiration

Self-control is strength. Right thought is mastery. Calmness is power. – James Allen

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Let’s start August with a new way of thinking and make a plan to set some new goals. For example, self-improvement goals are always a great choice. Who doesn’t want to improve their life in some way or another, right? I would love to start this month’s discussion on learning how to improve self-control. Did you know that research has shown that possessing self-control can be important for your overall health and well-being? Believe it or not, it’s important to require some level of self-control if you plan to:

Exercise regularly
Lose weight
Eat healthier
Stop procrastinating
Give up unhealthy habits
Save money
Maintain healthy relationships
Learn how to create a healthy work/life balance

This list can go on and on, but we’re going to move right into the definitions so we can have a clear understanding of what self-control really is.

DEFINITIONS

If you learn self-control, you can master anything. – Unknown Author

When ever I decide to write about a topic, I spend a lot of time understanding the definitions and any words that are related to the topic. So, let’s get started.

Self-control (noun) can be defined as:

Here’s some words that come to mind when you think about self-control:

Discipline (noun) – the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience. (control) (regulation)

7 SIMPLE STEPS TO IMPROVE SELF-CONTROL

Mastering self-control, the act of restraining one’s emotions is the true key to success. – Timothy Pina

Now, that we have a better understanding of what self-control is, it’s time to discuss the 7 simple steps to improve self-control in your life. Improving self-control has a lot to do with knowing who you are and understanding your personal interests as well as your own thought patterns.

Here’s 7 simple steps to improve self-control in your life:

#1 – Know Your True Self

When working to make any sort of change in your life, it’s important to know your true self. Begin to dig deep down inside and find out why you want to change in the first place. The best way to do this is to set aside quiet time for yourself every day to pray, meditate, and to recite positive mantras/affirmations.

#2 – Reconcile Your Past & Forgive Yourself

Even though we’ve all experienced hurt and pain in our past, it doesn’t mean we have to live with it in our present life. You’ll never know your true peace until you let go of feelings, such as insecurity, guilt, anger, and shame. Then, forgive yourself for past mistakes you’ve made and focus on the present.

#3 – Prioritize Your Life

In order to prioritize your life, you must have a written record of what’s important for you on a daily basis. Create a daily to-do list with your top 3 to 5 things that you want to get done. Always use this list as a guide, but also be flexible with yourself if you need to make changes throughout the day.

#4 – Remove Temptation

Removing temptation from your life is easier said than done. However, it’s an important step to making self-control a reality. When you remove temptation from your presence, you set yourself up for success by managing yourself and your surroundings.

#5 – Manage Stressful Situations

Learning how to manage stress in healthy ways ensures you have the positive energy to keep pressing forward during life’s most challenging times. Let’s face it, situations in our lives cause us to feel stress sometimes, but we have to learn how to not react in a negative way. Take a quick break and go walk outside.

#6 – Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness is probably the fastest way to see ourselves through the eyes of others. You will learn how to observe the finer details in life and live in the present moment. You will gain a greater appreciation for not only yourself, but for those who are around you. Compliment others and notice the difference it makes in the moment.

#7 – Measure Your Progress

Like anything in life, it’s important to measure your progress. This will keep you focused on your goals, allow you to become an expert on your own behavior, and it makes habits less difficult to change. You can keep a journal or invest in a smart watch/phone to track your progress for various goals.

Believe in yourself, be patient, and always show yourself compassion. Be mindful of how you affect yourself with your daily choices, and you will be inspired to improve your self-control. My challenge for you today is to gain greater self-control by setting realistic goals for yourself. Then, determine what works and don’t work for you. Make the necessary adjustments and you’ll be on your way to conquering the concept of self-control.

5 WAYS TO PRACTICE SELF-REFLECTION THROUGH JOURNALING

Be a reflection of what you’d like to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want truth, be truthful. If you want respect, give respect. What you give out will always return. – Kristen Butler

During this journey we call life, it’s important to realize that you have the power to cultivate positive energy within your body in any given moment. Yes, even when you are exhausted, burned out and feel like you have got nothing left to give, your body can guide you to a peaceful place of greater vitality, inner strength, and well-being.

Now, let’s take a moment to discuss 5 ways to practice self-reflection through journaling.

#1 – Cultivate stillness within you and reflect on these questions:

What habits did you achieve today, this week or this month?
What could you improve on in your life?
Where were you this time last year and what have you learned since then?

#2 – Practice prayer & meditation and reflect on these questions:

What is on your mind right now in this very moment?
What is your prayer for today?
Do you pay attention to your breathing while you are practicing meditation?

#3 – Write in your journal and reflect on these questions:

What is the easiest way to get your thoughts and feelings out on paper?
What is an experience that changed your outlook on life?
Do you re-read your journal entries to find patterns in your daily habits or thoughts?

#4 – Analyze a past event and reflect on these questions:

Why do you feel the way you do about the event?
What is one thing outside your control that you need to stop worrying about?
Why do you feel guilty about the event or the outcome?

#5 – Make decisions that align with your values and reflect on these questions:

What kinds of things do you value in life?
What helps you make sound and confident decisions?
What is something that keeps you grounded along your journey?

As you can see, journaling is a safe place to practice self-reflection, your time to just write how you feel, and no one will ever know. From my experience, it is important to have your guard down when making the decision to practice self-reflection through journaling. Remember, there is no wrong or right way to do this process, you just need to write! No overthinking or edits on paper, just write your honest thoughts and feelings down. Never be afraid to sit in your truth and re-arrange broken patterns. Stay patient and trust your self-reflection journey.

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Today, let’s talk about how affirmations can improve your life. To begin with, the word affirmation comes from the Latin affirmare, which means “to strengthen and make steady.” Affirmations are meant to help change your thoughts and move your attention to more empowering ideas that will ultimately create an improved result. Affirmations can be another form of positive self-talk that can:

• Help set the tone for your day.
• Be used to target and improve any area of your life.
• Help you overcome any negative thinking patterns.
• Provide a reflection of the kind of life you want to live.
• Offer ways to improve your mood and emotions.
• Increase your self-confidence and uplift your spirit.
• Help you set realistic goals and create a plan to reach them.

Simply put, when used consistently, affirmations have the power to transform lives despite what you’re going through.

9 WAYS AFFIRMATIONS CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE

Talk to yourself like someone you love. – Brene Brown

In order to receive the most benefits of reciting affirmations, it’s important for you to read and recite them aloud. Then, state them in the present tense as if they have already been accomplished. This process will make your mind believe that it’s already happening. Repetition is key. The more you say it, the more you may believe it. Affirmations can improve your life by:

1. Increasing self-awareness so you can acknowledge your daily thoughts and feelings.
2. Allowing you to become more grateful in any situation you are faced with.
3. Keeping you encouraged and more motivated to accomplish personal goals.
4. Helping you be in the present moment not worrying about the past or the future.
5. Teaching you how to be more open to new possibilities; not afraid to take risks.
6. Helping you to manage your feelings and emotions under stressful situations.
7. Reminding you to pay attention to your thought patterns.
8. Keeping you calm and at peace.
9. Helping you become more aware of what you want and your mind helps you get it.

During this process, focus on finding solutions and learning how to make positive changes in all areas of your life. After all, taking the time to recite affirmations daily can be the start of transforming your life.

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS

Positive thinking must be followed by positive doing. – John C. Maxwell

Next, in order for you to embrace this new way of thinking and living, it is important for you to feed your spirit with positive vibes on a daily basis. For example, I choose to feel good about myself and life’s journey each day. Even when I am feeling sad or depressed, deep inside I aspire to be a giver. A giver of life, a giver of good vibes, and a giver of strength. This kind of thinking will help you overcome life’s challenges and improve life’s journey.

Here’s a few positive affirmations to help you get started:

• I am blessed and in charge of my life.
• I am beautiful, brave, and ready to learn.
• I am fearless and capable of so much more.
• I am bold, strong, and free to make my own choices.
• I am enough and perfect just the way I am.

Journaling to Stay Grounded

LaPorterMay 7, 20214 Replies

Don’t be ashamed of your story. It just might inspire someone. – Unknown Author

Affiliate Disclaimer: This site contains affiliate links, which means I may receive a commission if you purchase through any of the links (at no additional cost to you).

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! I hope you have your journal and something to write with. I don’t know about you, but I love to write in my journal because it is a safe place for me to put my feelings and emotions into words. Remember, journal writing is your very own personal journey throughout life, your ups and downs, your successes and failures.

Today let’s focus on the concept of journaling to stay grounded. Open your journal and write down the following questions:

Why do I write in my journal?
What do I want to learn about myself?
How do I shine from day to day?
Do I have any talents or special skills?
How do I stand out in a crowd?

Begin to write your answers out so you can reflect on them in the future. Now, let’s take this exercise a little bit further. What’s the first thing you think about when you see the words “stay grounded”? Take a moment to write this question and your answer. For me, I think about being grounded in the Word of God so that I can have a solid and secure foundation. I think about having the ability to be guided on the right path throughout life.

Next, we’re going to discuss five ways you can use journaling to stay grounded in your life.

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION

Stand your ground, it’s sacred. – Unknown Author

#1 – You must have a spiritual foundation that includes the Word of God and having some level of faith. Without a strong spiritual foundation, you cannot withstand the storms of life. In my opinion, staying grounded in the Word of God increases your faith and renews your hope for the future. Staying grounded takes a strength from within like no other. For some, reading God’s Word is enough. For others, reading God’s Word, praying to God, practicing meditation, and living Christ-like satisfies their spiritual endeavors. Write these tips in your journal and refer to them as you read God’s Word:

Tip #1 – Always ask yourself – How does this word apply to me?
Tip #2 – Receive every word as true. Rest upon the promises that God has given you.
Tip #3 – Be prepared to put what you read into action in your life.

AMAZON RESOURCE #1 – Present, Not Perfect Journal

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE

I am grounded. I am safe. I am divinely protected at all times. – Unknown Author

#2 – You must have hope for the future. Hope is another one of those words that can be defined on a personal level and may change from situation to situation; or person to person. According to the Webster Dictionary, hope is defined as a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen; a feeling of trust.

But what does hope mean to you? Do you hope for anything great on today or in the near future? When I think of hope, I think of beauty and positive vibes. Hope is like a beautiful flower that thrives on sunlight and water. In a spiritual sense, hope relies on your daily commitment to God’s Word, meditation, and prayer.

Here’s a few questions to write in your journal that will help you better understand hope:

How do you define hope?
What do you hope for each day?
Why do you feel hopeful/hopeless?

ON TRACK TO REACH YOUR GOALS

Make it your goal to stay physically strong, mentally sound, emotionally stable, and spiritually grounded. – Unknown Author

#3 – You must stay on track to reach your goals. Goal setting is important in every aspect of your life. To pursue new ideas or strive to reach your dreams, you must have a plan to do so. There has to be a fire within you in order for you to strive to reach your goals that you set. You have to think positive and plan for success. Well, how do you start?

Here’s my recommendations:

Identify what you want and name your specific goal(s).
Write your goal(s) down and write the steps needed to facilitate the goal(s).
Take each of the steps you wrote down and incorporate them into your current lifestyle.
Begin to visualize yourself after your goals are achieved.
Evaluate your progress as you move through the steps you’ve identified.

BUILDING SELF-CONFIDENCE

Confidence is not they will like me. Confidence is I’ll be fine if they don’t. – Unknown Author

#4 – You must continue building your self-confidence each day. Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, but if we are honest with ourselves, we sometimes struggle to find it throughout our everyday lives. Did you know that gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success in life? Unfortunately, people who lack self-confidence find it difficult to become successful.

Here’s some ways for you to build self-confidence:

Prepare for your journey. Look at what you’ve already achieved, think about your strengths, think about what’s important to you, and where you want to go in life.
Set out on your journey. Build the knowledge you need to succeed, focus on the basics, set small goals and achieve them.
Accelerate towards success. By this point, you should feel your self-confidence building from within. Keep yourself grounded and always aware of how you feel throughout this process.

FIND TIME FOR SELF-REFLECTION

Time spent in self-reflection is never wasted, it is an intimate date with yourself. – Unknown Author

#5 – You must find time for self-reflection. Self-reflection is a process of examining one’s own thoughts, feelings, and sensations to gain better insight of one’s life. Self-reflection allows you to:

Notice negative patterns in your life.
Keeps you focused on the bigger picture.
Prevents you from worrying about things out of your control.
Helps you face your fears.
Allows you to make decisions based on your conscience.

My prayer for you today is that you will begin to use journaling to help you stay grounded in your own life. Believe in yourself. Be brave and take risks. After all, nothing can substitute an experience, whether it is positive or negative. Allow your journal to be your safe haven. Every word that you write down, will offer you hope for tomorrow and give you strength for today.

10 Ways to Improve Attitude Awareness

Watch your attitude. It’s the first thing people notice about you. – Unknown Author

Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! I cannot believe it’s been over a week since I’ve sent out an inspirational blog post to encourage you in some way. I truly apologize, but some days I find it difficult to maintain a positive attitude while trying to cope with life challenges. For example, every time you look around we are forced to deal with racial injustices and gun violence happening all around us. In addition, I am still working from home while helping my children with their virtual learning each day and trying to stay on track with writing my first book.

Despite all of this going on around me, today I choose to have a positive attitude and look at my life in a new way. By making this one choice, I will set myself up to receive beautiful blessings from on high. I will focus on what I have control over and nothing else. After all, a great attitude becomes a great mood. Which becomes a great day. Which becomes a great year. Which becomes a great life.

In life, two things define you:

Your patience when you have nothing.
And your attitude when you have everything.

DEFINITIONS – ATTITUDE & AWARENESS

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference. – Unknown Author

Let’s start this discussion off with the definitions of attitude and awareness.

Attitude is defined as a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior.

Awareness is defined as the quality or state of being aware; concern about and well-informed interest in a particular situation or development.

Now, your attitude is like a price tag, it shows how valuable you are on the inside and out. As you travel along this journey called life, it is important to embrace the moment you’re in which provides opportunities for self-awareness.

10 WAYS TO IMPROVE ATTITUDE AWARENESS

If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. – Maya Angelou

Well, what’s the best way to improve attitude awareness? You start this process by training yourself to be mindfully aware of what is happening in your life right now, in this moment. Awareness balances thinking and reduces anxiety. Keep in mind, anxiety is focused on the past or the future and awareness is grounded in the present.

Here’s 10 ways to improve attitude awareness in your life:

#1 – In life, always act with a purpose.

Make sure that your actions are aligned with your values and who you are as a person. Have a true understanding of why you’re doing whatever it is that you’ve set out to do.

#2 – Stretch yourself past your limits every day.

Create a daily to-do list and strive to push yourself out of your comfort zone. As Brian Tracy says, “You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.” This will keep your life fresh and exciting while challenging yourself to get to the next level.

#3 – Don’t expect huge results, just do your best.

Set goals and make decisions without pressuring yourself about the outcome. After all, we want to achieve greatness in life without feeling disappointment if we miss the mark. Plan ahead and do your best.

#4 – Use setbacks to improve your skills.

Examine where you are in this moment to see if there is any room for improvement. Remember, the results you receive prepares you for the results you want to achieve.

#5 – Seek out those who share your positive attitude.

Choose to be around people who share your same values, thoughts and positive attitude. You want to have people in your life to lift you up, not tear you down.

AMAZON RESOURCE #2

#6 – Always say “Please” and “Thank you”.

Being polite to others helps keep you grounded in positivity. If you want to improve your attitude use “Please” and “Thank you” with a smile on your face every single time you are given the opportunity.

#7 – Don’t compare yourself to others.

I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t spend a lot of time comparing yourself to others. This one action may cause you to begin thinking negatively towards your own life. Spare yourself the grief and focus on your own life and adjust your attitude accordingly.

#8 – Start your day with prayer, meditation, and stretching.

Every day when we rise, it’s important to be grounded on a positive foundation. Recite a simple prayer from your heart, then meditate on your words allowing your mind to be free. Afterwards, spend time stretching your body. You will feel refreshed and ready to take on any task that presents itself.

#9 – Live in the present moment.

Become more mindful and take each day one moment at a time. Plan ahead using a daily to-do list, calendar or a planner. Be careful not to over extend yourself by overlapping appointments. Allow time to take a walk outside or to do nothing at all. Your body will thank you.

#10 – Be grateful for everything you have.

Start every day with an attitude of gratitude. Give thanks for all that you have each and every day. When you rise in the morning, thank God for waking you up and for being your provider. Then, write down some things in your journal that you are grateful for. Repeat this action in the evening before you go to bed as well.

Attitude awareness is the first step to building a positive attitude. As you go through life, always expose yourself to positive information and hang around positive people so you will achieve positive results. Whatever life throws at you at any given time, even if it hurts, plant your feet on solid ground and be strong throughout the process. Remember, strong walls shake, but never collapse. Peace and blessings!
