Being goofy, one of my favorite ways to be…
I am always excited to start a new journal. First, I love new books- an entire book of blank pages that I know I’m going to fill excites me. Second, I’m excited to anticipate where I will be when I get to the end of the journal.
When I started my current journal, I first wrote about who I am and who I want to be. Some of these I am now. Some of these are who I strive to be.
I’m Christine.
I’m a nurse.
I’m a life coach.
I’m tall and thin, and I’m working to be more physically fit and active.
I’m middle-aged (if I live to be 90).
I do what I can to take care of myself and my family.
I know myself. I rely on myself. I enjoy, love, and trust myself (a good thing, too, because we have a lot of time to spend together).
I’m a homebody, and that’s OK because I have a lovely home to body in.
I have plenty of gray hairs and scars and wrinkles from a life well-lived- in which I made it way more difficult for myself, but that’s OK. I did the best I could with what I had, and I didn’t know any better or differently.
I’ve learned how to slow down to go faster, to have ease for more joy, and that gratitude creates grace.
I have fun and strive for an extraordinary life.
I’m resilient and reinvent myself, and I don’t hold on to fear, worry, or anger.
I’m kind and loving.
I help and serve others. I have years of experience helping others.
I am calm, cool, and collected and know what to do. I can help you do so, too.
I’m in control [of me]; I run the show and steer this ship. I can show you how to, too.
I push when needed with kindness and respect.
I am warm, and open, and loving.
I have all the time in the world for you.
I care about you and communicate directly with your heart, your inner hero, your true you.
I am genuinely curious and interested in you; after all, we all have a story to tell.
If you could BE anyone, possess any qualities that you admire in others, who would you be?
