Transcript

This is a guided mindful journaling practice to help you cultivate self-awareness and promote your emotional well-being.

Find a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit with your journal and a pen.

As you engage with this practice,

Take your time.

There's no rush.

Pause the recording if you need more time to reflect and engage with the practice deeply.

Take a moment to ground yourself by taking a few deep breaths.

Close your eyes gently and allow your mind to settle into the present moment.

When you feel centred,

Open your eyes and reflect on your current emotional state.

Begin by writing down a few words that describe how you are feeling at this moment.

Allow yourself to observe these emotions without judgement or the need to change them.

Next take a moment to focus on your breath.

Notice the sensation of each inhale and exhale.

As you continue to breathe mindfully,

Bring your attention to the thoughts that arise in your mind.

Write down any recurring patterns or themes that you notice in your thinking.

Now,

Consider a recent experience or interaction that has had an impact on your emotional well-being.

Reflect on how this experience made you feel and what insights you have gained from it.

Now,

Write down any lessons or realisations that have emerged from this reflection.

As you continue to journal,

Explore any areas of your life where you may be experiencing challenges or difficulties.

Now,

Write down your thoughts and feelings,

Allowing yourself to express them freely and authentically.

Consider what changes or adjustments you can make to support your emotional well-being and personal growth.

Take a moment to acknowledge your strengths and accomplishments.

Write down three things that you appreciate about yourself and your life.

Allow yourself to bask in the positivity and gratitude that comes from recognising your inner resilience and any progress you have made.

Before closing your journal,

Write an intention for the day,

Or the week ahead.

Write down a positive affirmation or goal that you would like to focus on.

Visualise yourself embodying this intention and moving forward with a sense of purpose.

Take a final moment to express gratitude for the opportunity to engage in this mindful journaling practice.

Close your journal and take a few deep breaths.

Allowing yourself to absorb the insights and reflections you have gathered.

Carry this sense of self-awareness and emotional well-being with you as you continue to journal.

As you continue your journey,

And consider the benefits this would have in your life,

If you returned tomorrow to your journal and practised all over again.

Have a wonderful day.
