Find Your Write Mind + More

I don’t know about you, but for me staying in a good headspace is requiring some extra love and care and the payoffs are huge. Here are a few simple go-tos that can create a nice turn-around for your frame of mind.

Get in your Write Mind:  Writing for me has always been a vehicle for navigating challenging and uncertain terrain to find truth and figure out who I want to be in the face of my circumstances.  Here are 3 simple steps.

1. Take out the mental trash daily!  Just like you keep your home clean, it’s imperative to keep your headspace clean too.  Take 5-10 minutes to empty your thoughts on a page.  Start with “Today I’m feeling….” Let all your thoughts fall onto the page.  No need to edit.  When you’re done – feel free to literally throw it away.
2. Next, ask yourself “Who do I want to be in the face of today?”  “What do I want to do, experience or feel in this moment?”
3. Then, ask – “What can I think, be and do to move in that direction?”  Write your way to a new feeling place.

Hike it out: Take a question and hit the trail or path near you.  When you finish take a minute to write down what stood out from your walk.  What did you see, hear, feel? This week I set out on a hike with a prayer that God give me a message – here’s what I posted just after.

Try a Quick Mood-Changer:  Here are some ideas I heard on a webinar this week….

• Play music
• Movement – Move your body (dance, exercise, stretch)
• Pet your dog 🙂 , plant a garden, take photos, play a game, take a bath, etc..

I’d love to hear what’s helping you.
What’s one thing you are doing that’s having a positive impact for you?
