Have you ever stopped to think "am I proud of myself & the life I'm building?" In this episode of Journal Entries, I revisit a recent, vulnerable journal entry that completely shifted my perspective on pride and self-worth.
I explore what it truly means to feel proud of your life choices versus simply following expectations or checking boxes.
Through my own breakthrough realization during a lunar eclipse journaling session, I discovered the profound difference between complying with others' expectations and making choices that authentically align with who I am. This unexpected insight about pride might just change how you view your entire life!
In this episode, you'll discover:
- The surprising lunar eclipse journal prompt that sparked my breakthrough ðŸ’
- Why college achievements and corporate success didn't fill me with genuine pride
- The specific life moments I feel most proud of (and why they weren't the "expected" ones)
- How to distinguish between pride in compliance versus pride in conscious choice
- 4 powerful self-reflection questions to determine if you're truly proud of your daily life
- The connection between authentic pride and modeling emotional well-being for your children
As a single mom building a business from scratch during sleepless nights and toddler meltdowns, I've realized that true pride comes from listening to my inner voice and having the courage to follow it—even when it's challenging. I'm sharing this journey with you in hopes that it helps you find your own path to pride and fulfillment.
This isn't about adding more to your overwhelming to-do list! It's about making conscious choices that feel authentically yours and finding pride in your unique journey.
