Week 29 of 52: Writing Our Way Back to Ourselves

We are officially in week 29 of 52.

And I don’t know about you, but that number made me stop for a second.

We are more than halfway through the year.

Remember those goals we wrote down in January? The promises we made to ourselves? The things we swore this year would be different about?

Where are we with them?

I’m asking myself the same question.

This isn’t about beating ourselves up for what we haven’t accomplished. But I do think it’s time to buckle down. To be honest with ourselves. To look at the year so far and ask:

What have I actually done with the goals I said mattered to me?

So, I’m making a conscious effort to share one journal prompt every week.

But I don’t want to just throw a pretty prompt onto the internet and disappear.

I’m going to work with the prompt too.

Throughout the week, I’ll sit with it, write through it, and see what comes up. Then, at the end of the week, I’ll come back and share some of what I wrote.

I’m doing this alongside you.

For week one, I’m asking:

What part of yourself have you been quietly trying to return to?

Maybe week 29 is the week we stop waiting for January to try again.

We still have 23 weeks left.

Let’s buckle down.

Let’s get honest.

And let’s write our way back to ourselves.
