Let Go & Choose You!: A Meditation Journal for Self-Affirmation

Author's Introduction - I got this! Letting go of what holds you back, and choosing what sets you free takes time and commitment. But I've discovered, as you will, how powerfully freeing it feels. In my own life, I've endured too many trials and tribulations to count. But those troubled times have taught me some very practical lessons. I've created this working journal to share what I've learned with you. Letting Go and Choosing Me may sound selfish, but I've discovered that taking care of "me first" is actually the best way to take care of those around me. Because only if I am healthy and content in my own life can I offer reliable support to others. This journal will help you understand your own inner strength, and how to use it. When times get rough, you'll pause to reflect, to be gentle with yourself, to write out your thoughts, and talk with others when you need to. Then you'll choose what's truly best for you. Just as I did, you'll put one foot in front of the other and walk, then run, then fly like the wind! Remember, it's okay to mess up at times. We all do. But even when you do, your feelings and needs still deserve respect. You'll always allow yourself to feel what you feel, to sit in it for a while without judging yourself. Then you'll work through your feelings using self-reflection, journal writing, and talking things out, in order to understand where these feelings come from and what your real needs are. The journey can be grueling if you try to go it alone. Comforting friends will make all the difference. So you'll gather with like-minded individuals whose love and positivity will support you. Their encouragement will see you through difficult times and inspire you to reach your goals. And you will do the same for them! By using this journal, you'll gain valuable tools to aid your self-reflection, beginning with a daily practice of self-affirmation, then adding daily meditation guided by thought-provoking questions. You'll also feel the relaxing benefits of keeping a personal journal, where you can open up and be completely honest. Since no one but you will see it, you can explore your fears, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities in complete privacy. You'll make lists of your goals, both small and huge, and you'll set your priorities, putting the most essential things first. Eventually, you'll find how grounding this process can be, by clearing your mind and centering you. Choosing You means giving yourself time to do the work you need. So let's get started now!
