There are times when we get stuck up in life. We keep asking ourselves why am i doing this, what is the need, is this enough, am i doing enough etc. In this chaos it is easy to lose control and get lost.
This has happened with me also. But now i know the way to get out of this rut. It is a very simple way to figure out what your inner self is trying to tell you.
Why you feel like stuck?
Sometimes we keep allowing ourselves to do the things we don't want but we are obliged which is completely fine. But ignoring the inner voice give rise to dissatisfaction and this dissatisfaction make us question ourselves.
Everyone in life has faced this. We all have asked ourselves the same questions. Which is great. As without questioning, we won't know the answers and without answers how will we awake?
"Sometimes questions are more important than answers." -Nancy WillardThese questions are not for outer world but for our self discovery. To know what our inner self or higher self is telling us to do, it becomes necessary to ask questions.
How to get out of Rut feeling?
Actually there are lot of ways to feel better but my favourite ( which works all the time) is Journaling.
Journaling has helped me to get out of tough time. I got to find my ways when i was lost. I feel great and fresh when i am writing, I am more me when i am journaling.
I have got every solution to my problem. It is like all the answers are within we just need to explore ourselves.
Journaling has helped me to become best version of myself. If you want to work on self discovery then these journal prompts are for you. You can use these 31 journal prompts for 1 month and see yourself becoming best version.
How to use Journal Prompts for Self Discovery?
Take a Journal or notebook and a pen. Sit into a quiet place. Prefer morning or late night time as in day time you are more likely to be disturbed. Before you start to write do some breathing exercise for 5 minutes and then make an intention-
"I set an intention to become best version of myself."Now that you have made the intentions, you are ready to start. Take one journal Prompt everyday and think about it deeply for 2 minutes and then start to write. Don't stop your pen, just get into the flow, you will get all your answers in the flow. Consider writing at least 3 pages.
By the end of the month you will feel the difference.
