What we talked about this week

I’m experimenting with something new this week. I’ve got some journaling questions for you that are related to some of the things we talked about in this episode.

• This week we talk about embracing our magic and power. What comes up for you when you think about those things? Do you think of yourself as powerful? In what way(s)? Or if you don’t, why not?

• It’s amazing how tiny shifts can have really big impacts. Where in your life would you like to shake things up? What small thing could you experiment with changing?

• We pulled the high priestess and the empress cards this week. How do you feel about these cards? Which one resonates more with you?

• What part of yourself would you like to connect with more? What sort of ritual could you create to help with that?

Joeli gave some suggestions for practices to help access your dreaming side. Maybe you’d like to give one a try:

• Journal every day for a week (or longer) starting with the prompt “I want…”

• Write letters from your future self to your present self, talking about what your life is like in the future.

• If your brain gets hung up on practical things, try writing small fairy tales instead. Let yourself pretend.
