Here’s today’s Weekly Journaling Prompt. This might take longer than usual. It’s an invite to map/draw out some (or all) of the major inflection or change points you’ve seen in your work and world.
Consider these questions:
What has caused you to pivot, or double down?
What were those main changes
What is important – about how you responded? What you learned? How you changed?
How would you describe you respond to change?
Change is ongoing in today’s somewhat turbulent world. What is important to note about change for you?
For those that want a deeper dive this week, use the following questions as prompts for your journaling practice:
- Reflect on a recent change in your life. It could be a major life transition, a shift in your routine, or a new experience. Describe the change and how it has impacted you. What emotions did it evoke? How did you initially respond to the change?
- Examine your attitude towards change. Do you embrace change with open arms, or do you tend to resist it? Consider how your beliefs, past experiences, and personality traits shape your attitude towards change. Are you more inclined to see change as an opportunity or a threat?
- Explore your coping mechanisms. When faced with change, how do you typically respond? Do you lean into discomfort and uncertainty, or do you seek stability and familiarity? Reflect on the strategies you employ to navigate change, whether it's seeking support from others, practicing self-care, or adopting a growth mindset.
- Identify patterns in your response to change. Are there recurring themes or patterns in how you respond to change? Do you tend to approach change with curiosity and resilience, or do you struggle with fear and resistance? Consider how these patterns impact your ability to adapt and thrive amidst change.
- Examine your relationship with uncertainty. Change often brings uncertainty and ambiguity. How do you navigate uncertainty in your life? Do you embrace it as a natural part of the journey, or do you find yourself feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Reflect on how you can cultivate a sense of trust and resilience in the face of uncertainty.
- Consider the lessons learned from past experiences of change. Think back to previous moments of change in your life. What lessons did you learn from those experiences? How did they shape your perspective and approach to future change? Reflect on how you can apply these lessons to navigate current and future transitions with grace and resilience.
As you embark on this week's journaling journey, remember that change is not something to be feared but embraced as an opportunity for growth and transformation. Dive deep into your reflections, explore your responses to change, and embrace the dance of life with courage and curiosity.
