Hellooo! How are we, gang? First of all, I want to apologise for neglecting my English speaking readers because I know you’re out there and I’ve been writing in Spanish for weeks. But I hadn’t forgotten you! ❤️

Is it weird that I find it easier writing in Spanish? Maybe I’m less embarrassed in Spanish, whereas in English I’m more aware of how I write and what I’m sharing? Who knows, but I’m here, I’m doing it. ✨

I’ve been journaling a lot this year, mostly without prompts, just getting my thoughts out on paper so they’re not whirring round my head or bringing me down unnecessarily. I like to put in some deeper questions to make sure I’m journaling with purpose, reflecting with a little more depth - these prompts I usually just find on google. E.g. “journal prompts for healing”, “for self-confidence”, “for setting goals”, whatever you need help with.

Today though I wanted to share a set of the more simple journal prompts I use and you can incorporate a couple of times into your week to start or end your day a little more focused on you. And I thought it would be fun to answer them along with you 🤗

A reminder that I LIVE my life, I drink, I go out, I dance, I have hangovers, I eat whole foods, I run and lift weights, I intermittent fast, I have busy days at work, I get 6 hours sleep sometimes and sometimes 9. We’re all out here just doing our best and, for me right now, that means a little bit of everything with the people that bring me joy, and that’s what wellness means to me. 💛

Some easy journal prompts for you to try!

Intention(s) for the day

Be present.

Affirmation(s)

I am calm, I am focused.
I am in the right place at the right time.
I am strong, inside and out.

How am I feeling recently?

Alright this one is a bit personal, but I will share that the sensation that keeps coming up for me is “grounded”, or maybe “solid”. It’s a feeling, but everything around me has been changing this year, my home, my previous relationship, work has even been a question mark for boring corporate reorg reasons, family health scares…, and yet I’m still here. I am true to who I am, and I am certain of that, I am self-aware and my friends and family are supportive every step of the way. That’s how I’ve been feeling.

What am I looking forward to?

Lanzaroteee next weekend with my Barcelona Wellness gfs! 🏝️

What am I grateful for?

1. The sunshine in Madrid, it’s such a mood booster

2. My grandma is recovering well from her operation

3. Honestly, that you guys listen to my podcast!

Goal(s) for today

1. Write this newsletter

2. Prep a podcast I’m recording next week

Glam on a Saturday afternoon? No, but your gal is a full grown adult with a side hustle and the work has to get done eventually hahaha 😂
