Midlife, redefined Daily Journal Guide

Week 3 & 4

Does your brain feel like a tornado of thoughts, feelings and experiences as your busy lives swirl around you? Journaling helps you lift your head to thrive amid the mayhem of midlife. 

The power of journaling is that it actually helps you make your life feel better. It can be a word, a mental meandering or a jumble of jotterings... there is no right or wrong. And I will guide you.

For a year, I'm going to guide you with daily prompts to help you navigate the tornado swirls or ‘empty-page’ terror.

The goal in life is not to be happy 100% of the time, but to be able to live through a wide range of experiences and emotions, and stay connected to yourself.

In this year long adventure with yourself, this opportunity to spend a few minutes every day (or as many days a week as you can) thinking about yourself will transform your relationship with yourself.

This is a place and a space for you to think about you.  To matter more in your own midlife and to build self-knowledge and empower yourself to live life for you. In midlife we have a lot of things running round our brain elbowing each other for prominence. So these journal prompts are a way of giving you some direction. 

I’ve already explained the benefits of journaling in the Power is in Your Hand, and how this year-long adventure with yourself will work. You can start this at any time of the year: Week 1 & 2 are here.

We are in the first part - Self-Discovery for 8 weeks.

(A reminder that the second 8 weeks is Passion, Purpose & Priorities and the third part is Action and Living with Intention. Then we repeat these directions with new prompts for the second 6 months).

We start with self-discovery because you can make all the plans and checklists in the world, but if you aren’t coming from a place of current self-knowledge - who, how and where you are at this age and stage of life - you could be making the wrong plans, or signing up to someone else’s (culture, society, Instagram, the school gates, the patriarchy, your partner, your parent)’s version of success. 

For just €5 per month, this guide (and lots of other content and discounts on coaching) is for my paid subscribers. For all my lovely subscribers there is my free Midlife Daily Journal Template in my previous post here.

So let’s get into the prompts for Week 3 and 4 of your journaling journey.
