Journaling - Day 29

This is Day 29 of our 30 days of journaling. Each day, we pull an oracle card and use it as a guide for our journaling time together. I love journaling and try to do it every day! Writing about what I'm feeling is my own "therapy" and has gotten me through the toughest times. It's also a wonderful way to look back and see how far I've come! Join me in this 30-day challenge to journal every day! Make it as long or as brief as you want and don't worry if you skip a day. Sometimes life gets in the way but commit to doing it as often as possible with me!

Thank you for all the feedback and positive comments. This was a longtime dream of mine, and I am so grateful for the encouragement!

Hello and welcome beautiful Insight Timer community.

Today is day 29 of our 30 day journaling challenge.

Very exciting.

Tomorrow is going to be our last day of the challenge and I'm definitely gonna have to find something special for that but in the meantime today I pulled a card from Michael Singer's deck The Untethered Soul and I'm sure some of you have heard of his book The Untethered Soul which is a phenomenal book.

A little deep at times but a really good book.

I loved it and I decided to get this deck when I saw it and I pulled a card at random.

The one I pulled was about living life and it says you should be experiencing the life that's happening to you not the one you wish was happening.

Don't waste a moment of your life trying to make other things happen.

Appreciate the moments you were given.

What a great thought.

I know myself so many times I've been caught up in my head and honestly that really is a waste of time.

There were times I wish things were better.

Now I just I'm grateful for what I have.

I enjoy what I have and I do my best to stay in the present moment and to stop projecting what I wish I had,

What I wish life could be.

I've got a pretty good life right now and I think when you stop to focus on what you have you learn to appreciate those moments even more.

So today I'd like us to journal on what we have,

What we appreciate,

What makes life beautiful and I know that there are times we struggle but let's put that aside for now.

Let's think about those what they call glimmer moments,

Those moments that linger that make life great.

For me it was spending time with my family last weekend.

I'm sure you have moments like that so let's put five minutes on the clock and let's get to journaling.

Alright my friends that was five minutes.

I hope you had a lot to write about.

I hope a lot of the things you appreciate in life came to mind and that you were able to write about them and remember how good it feels to appreciate what we have.

I know there have been moments where I felt a little low and sometimes it's good to go back and read about the things that you're grateful for.

So keep that list handy and if you find yourself having a bad day or a down moment look at that list or think about that list and remember that there's a lot to be grateful for.

Remember the things that make you happy and as always shine bright like a diamond.

We'll be back tomorrow with day 30 and I will look for something special to end our 30 day journaling challenge.

Until then have an amazing day.

Hi Violet! This has been such a wonderful journey so far! I so appreciate you and your offerings! You are now part of my glimmer! I'm wondering if you can share what music was used in the background of this particular day? It was so fun and uplifting! Thank you! 🙏P.S. I just figured out how to see the info! It only took me 80 days, but using this App is in itself a process of discovery! Looking forward to catching up with your next journalling series!

This is great. Day 29 today, but actually in reality in my own journal/scripting it's Day 84; I jumped on this journaling challenge to keep up momentum. Thanks Violet. Day 30 tomorrow.
