Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! I pray that your week has been filled with love, peace, joy, and happiness. Today, I want to focus on an important topic – How to Embrace the Renewal Process Within. I encourage you to have your journal or a notebook and something to write with.
Now, tell me what is your breaking point? When do you just STOP and take a rest? When do you say “No” to others because you already have too much on your agenda? Believe it or not, most people do not acknowledge when they are overwhelmed and tired. Most of us just keep going and going until we are exhausted and burned out. This is not a healthy choice at all.
Let’s begin to embrace the renewal process by answering a few questions:
- What do I want or need in my life right now in this very moment?
- Are my actions guided by love or fear? faith or worry? courage or doubt?
- Will this action bring peace or inner turmoil in my life?
When you take time to answer questions related to your life honestly, you will find out what’s important enough for you to pursue and what to ignore.
POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS
Renewal is what happens when you realize that some of this stuff you’ve been carrying around doesn’t matter. – Rob Bell
Next, I want you to begin using positive affirmations every day to help renew your mind, body, and spirit. Positive affirmations will help you to attract more positivity in your life and transform your thoughts. It’s important to repeat the following positive affirmations daily until they are hidden in your heart.
Here’s a few positive affirmations to help you get started:
- I am beautifully made.
- I am filled with gratitude.
- I am worthy of great things.
- I am confident and empowered.
- I am surrounded by love.
- I am learning and growing.
- I am in charge of my own self-worth.
ADVANTAGES IN LIFE
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances. – Maya Angelou
As we go through life, it is important to realize when it is time for our renewal process to occur. Allowing time for renewal offers one so many advantages in life. For example, a person who chooses to embrace the renewal process may experience:
- Personal growth and expansion from the inside out.
- A fresh start to something that will be much better, and in most cases, greater than what they were already experiencing.
- The ability to make necessary plans and allows their mind to think of resolutions that need to take place.
- Time to rest from the day-to-day hustle and bustle of life, which can interpret to self-reflection.
- An opportunity to transform one’s mind and body to a more refreshed state.

JOURNAL PROMPTS
Renewal requires opening yourself up to new ways of thinking and feeling. – Deborah Day
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. Keep in mind that this is a journey and be patient with yourself. Ready, set, write!
