We are doing the 30 day journaling + meditation invitation for the month of August. An explanation of this project is here. I'll be posting an update here every day (M-F) for the month of August and I'm also doing short videos on Instagram to share things I am learning along the way.

For this challenge, I designed mugs, notebooks, magnets and stickers with the "Slow the fuck down. BE as creative, powerful and magnetic as you ARE" on them - they are here.

Today my practice is really dull.

I am enjoying this delicious sensation of “having the time to remember what an all-round magical + creative being I am”.

When I meditate on the theme I just feel more YESSSSS.

And I have nothing to journal about other than - this feels so much easier than it did last week. Yay!

It’s boring. And that’s ok.

I just spent my minimum amount of time with this, and now I am going to go on to do what I feel instead and exited about - the Year of Dreams 2023. (As pictured)

The weekly and monthly planners and the planning cutouts (so people who have a planner they like can still use Creative Dream Incubator planning + journaling prompts in their planner) are done! Now I am working on the New Year journaling kit.

So I’m going to share something I wrote last month when I had first started exploring our theme:

You don't need to change yourself.

Spending time journaling and reflecting, especially on the same topic for 30 days (or longer) in a row, may lead you to see things in a new light which leads to changes in your behaviour or new ideas for things to try with your dreams. It does have the potential to change EVERYTHING.

But that "outer change" part is not the goal.

The only goal is to show up for your practice and BE WITH whatever is there for you that day - if that's new ideas or lots of fears and resistance or boredom or... literally whatever is there, that's what you be with.

I believe that at the end of the 30 days you'll know what, if anything, you want to DO with all of this.

Try not to even think about it before then.

Just keep going. Even if it's hard to do because it brings up a lot of uncomfortable questions (like it was for me last week). Even if it's boring (like it is for me right now). Even if it's ______ <-- fill in this blank with whatever reason your mind is giving you for why this is not worth doing.

Just keep going. And each day, journal about how it's going for you.
