The Weekend Shift: Journal But Make it a List
Hey there!  I hope you're having a lovely day.  If you've been wanting to start a journaling practice but can't seem to make it stick, list-making might be your answer.  In this episode, I talk about why list-making is a journaling practice, especially if you've been telling yourself you don't have the time or don't know what to write. I share the story of the journal that led me to go alcohol-free in August 2013, and I give you a list of list of list ideas you can start using right now, including a few specifically for women working on living alcohol-free. Grab your journal, a piece of paper, a post-it, or a napkin and try a list out today!  List Ideas from This Episode: Things I know for sure about me (or: who I am and who I'm not) My why power list (all the reasons why you want to be alcohol-free, or why you're making any change) Worry list (dump out what you're worried about, then note worst/best case scenario) Things I've worried about that have never happened One to three things I want to focus on this month/week/day Brain dump (everything out, keep it or toss it) Save it for later list Good news and gratitude list Yay me list (your wins, going back as far as you want) My rituals and self-care list When I have a thought about drinking (time, what's happening, what I did to work through it) What helps me stay alcohol-free / what doesn't Habit inventory (habits that help me, habits working against me) No longer buying list (things I'm no longer willing to purchase) No longer buying into list (my own BS or outdated messages) Things I'd rather not do list Three things I know for sure about me and alcohol (my truth list) Play it forward list (what happens if I take one sip) Favorites lists (colors, words, decades, people, food, smells, places) Glimmer moments (tiny micro moments of joy) Solo dates to try this month Songs that make me feel nostalgic, relaxed, or confident Hobbies I want to try this month Books I want to remember / books I want to read Things people have said that I want to remember (or forget) What I appreciate about being my age What's hard about being my age Places I've traveled or want to travel Concerts I've seen or want to see Five pieces of advice I'd give my 25-year-old self Five things my 90-year-old self will want me to start today Reverse bucket list (everything I've already done) Bucket list (everything I want to do) What do I need less of right now / what do I need more of Funny - I didn't think I shared this many, but I also have a lot more ideas. ✌🏻 Have ideas for list, I would love to hear them - send me an email to share.   Private Coaching That Meets You Where You Are and Helps You Get to Where You Want to Be I offer flexible, personalized packages to help you get started and stay alcohol-free.
