Take to your bed for 15 minutes and write
last of the year prompts
Hi, bbs.
I know you have little time.
Things feel rushed and wild.
The news is horrible.
Maybe you are sad or broke or worried or stressed.
Maybe you are thrilled, soaked in love and blissed out too.
Two or three things can be true at the same time.
I encourage you to take some time for yourself each day left of this little year.
I’m leaving you with some prompts and journaling ideas:
write out your INS/OUTS for the year
write down anything you can remember that went RIGHT in 2023
how can you be more vulnerable in the future
pretend you can take away pain from 5 people/who would they be and why
brainstorm how to be a better humanitarian
are you experimenting enough with your life
draw a new way of tracking your time next year/like a journal/weekly calendar page/customize it to you/make a bunch of copies
a list of all the ways you were not well behaved in 2023
what steps did you take to care for your mental/physical/emotional health this year
list out all months of 2023 and rate them/what was your rose and thorn of each
journal about your sex life/whatever it looks like or you want it to look like
send end of year texts/say things that matter/tell your people beautiful things/how they matter/how they glisten
what do you really want to be when you grow up?
I’ve been planning my Sunday Suppers for 2024 in my journal. I want to invite more people to dinner at my house. Easy breezy—not Pinterest like. Just pasta. Wine. Cheap. Thrills. I want to have conversations. Connections. And I want to go live on those Sundays. (2nd Sunday of each month) and give inspo/prompts etc. to my paid subs. I hope you will join. I love you so much. I want so badly to be in communion with you all in 2024. It’s also going to be a wild year. We already know this.
I did those journals for the year- did you?
And did you do the holiday best advice from last year? If not, try this year.
I also have one really great piece of advice that I try to give away all the time, but I forget if I've told you…when you pack away your holiday tree ornaments or holiday boxes or bins, please write a letter to yourself. Please write a letter to yourself about how your year was and don't be fake about it—tell the truth. Tell the bloody truth to yourself and then next December if you're here on the earth and you're alive and you're lucky then you can open up a bin and you will have 100% forgotten that you did this and you will read it in your hands and you will probably feel joy, pain, sparks of weirdness. You will be smiling or crying, and I guarantee that some things will have lessened, and some things will have intensified, but it will all be your life and it is so important. Please write it down.
ILYSM
Let’s be here for each other.
