Mama's On The Rise

Life happens.
You pick up a habit-good, "bad" or cycle through them.

A couple years ago I created a journal prompt that worked for me when I did do it and actually got me excited.

I wanted to share it with you.

Although this is my first time adding pictures as I usually do a quick note in my phone or write it on my whiteboard at home. Choose what works for you.

1. Do this at the beginning of the month
2. Pick a theme you want for the month
3.From your month theme pick a word each week that would help create that

Ex: November I will feel Balanced
Oct 27th-Nov 2nd I will embody Grounded
3rd-9th I will embody Fun
10th-16th I will embody Love
17th-23rd I will embody Gratitude
24th-30th I will embody New

To me it helps your brain rewire some and look for things each week that might help support that.

I'm just saying I swear life is funner when you can theme things in it 😆
Would this be something you'd try?

Feelings.

Where does one even start? The thoughts, the visions, the memories and everything else in between can be a lot.

I hope you check out my journal sometime called I Thought of You Today. Journaling After A Loss. Snag yours on Amazon.

I created this to help process my feelings my being intentional about what I was feeling on different days.

Some pages touch on the holidays, doodling, word vomiting (yes, some days, thoughts and words just come out and they don't make sense and that's ok). I give examples so you can have an idea of how to start.

I hope you'll try this journal out or gift it to someone. (Jounral can be used for any loss)

Lately, in my own healing journey, I've been hearing the phrase "emotions need motion."

And it finally makes sense.

We have so many thoughts, what if, should haves or shouldn't haves that we are in our thoughts a majority of the time.

What if another tool you had was movement?

What if you had different ways to move to help you process your feelings?

Just a thought.

Mark Your Calanders and be sure to tell your family, friends, aquaitances, and strangers. 🩵🩷

You never know who has had a pregnancy and or infant loss or both.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

Did you know white pumpkins symbolize Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness?

With that being said. I've decided to share my blogs I've been creating. Not all are on loss, but some are.

I guess this time of year & season of life gives me a little courage to open up about my life experiences.

You can Google Mama's On The Rise or check out my linktree in my IG bio.

I hope something I write can be helpful.
