Questions

This past weekends retreat was about journaling. The benefits, various techniques you can use, etc.. As I was sitting in the doctors office this morning waiting for a friend I started reading the December issue of Redbook and came upon these questions. If you are someone who likes to journal (or someone who's been thinking about doing it but needed a starting point), I think these are excellent questions to journal about. If you're not a writer, they are excellent questions to give some deep thought to when you have quiet time -

1.) How do I spend my alone time?

2.) Do I pay attention to what my body needs?

3.) To whom am I grateful?

4.) Do I spend my money on things that speak to my soul?

5.) Do I compare my life to other peoples?

6.) What do I see when I look in the mirror each morning?

7.) Have I figured out a way to handle the less than perfect relationships in my life?

8.) Do I have faith in something bigger than I am, whether it's God or some other spiritual form?

9.) What positive things do I bring to the relationships in my life?

10.) Is there a space in my home to do the things I love?

11.) How many hours a week do I spend on my computer, my TV, my BlackBerry?

12.) Do I feel older or younger than my years? How often do I feel good about being exactly the age I am?

Give yourself as much time as you need for the answers to come and remember you're the only one seeing them (unless you choose to share) so you can be honest.
