Trusting the Process: A Journey to Making Confident Decisions

As the last born and last daughter in the family, I’ve had my share of perks—and downsides. Growing up, I definitely got away with a few things (I mean, who wouldn’t?), but being sheltered was a double-edged sword. No one ever seemed to take me seriously. Even now, 16 years past the age of 18, I still feel like I’m seen as the "baby" whose opinions are just background noise.

Lately, I’ve been actively working to unlearn a lot of the mindsets I was raised with, especially when it comes to making critical decisions. It's a struggle, let me tell you. Every time I face an important choice, I feel the weight of the world pressing down on me. I gather all the facts, list out my reasons, but then the self-doubt kicks in, and I catch myself asking for someone else’s opinion.

But guess what? Today, I found a tool that’s helped me start navigating this maze of anxiety, self-doubt, and the need for external validation.

Here's what I’ve been doing: grab your journal, open two pages, and follow this simple method:

On the first page, write down the situation you’re facing. Be honest and explain the possible consequences.

Leave a bit of space, and then write down the decision you've made and why you've made it.

On the second page, mark a date six months from now. Commit to revisiting your decision on that day to reflect on whether it turned out to be a good or bad one, and journal about what you’ve learned.

This has been a game changer. Every decision I make, I trust a little more. I no longer feel the need to second guess myself or seek approval from others. I’m slowly learning to trust my own process.

It’s all part of the journey, but I’m getting there—one confident decision at a time.

Shoutout to my big brother for the helpful tool.

Wellness Check Be Like...

Is it possible to do a wellness check on yourself? ... I think I had one today or maybe it was considered more of a trigger of what is currently not going as planned.

Aight, so boom..I got an email today, that should have probably come earlier, but ended up getting all after the fact and in the middle of the week. I responded to it without cursing someone out and I was proud of myself-- because every LAST curse word in the book was going thru my head. After I sent it, I left the house to run an errand. The goal was Home Depot-- and where I currently reside the closet one is about 15 mins away. While in route, I didn't even realize I didn't gas up much before I headed out-- thinking it would be something I could do when I left from where I was intending to go. I started to realize I was getting lost and make it so bad... the FUCKING GPS was telling me where to go. Yet, another overwhelming/angry "What in the entire FUCK" moment and started to cry as I was driving. I kept missing turns because I was notified too late. Mind you I'm in an area in my city that I'm not in on a regular basis-- and this is NOW just trying to find a gas station because the Home Depot that it was taking me to--I didn't see a damn thing. Finally, got back on track and found a gas station. Oh did I mention half the WTF moment was b/c I thought I left my card at home when I KNEW I grabbed it.. yeahhh, I was sitting on it the whole time and just sat in the car and channelled my inner Michael Scott when Toby came back to the office

After I got home-- I started thinking, and I gave myself a wellness check and was like "This HAS to be a clear sign or message from Big G and Sweet Baby Jesus" ... and ultimately it was [ or at least how I felt after I got over the overwhelming of it all ] a clear message that there's a path-- you might miss the turn, hell-- you may miss a lot of turns on your way but there is always a designated destination and you will ultimately end up where you need to be. In the moment that you're there, it may not be permanent but you're there for a reason word to Dorothy!

In the midst of this, I had a much need venting conversation with one of my besties.. BOY! talk about being on time, lol. For the most part, I've been pretty mute about my situation. Mainly because, I have been in state where I could cry at the drop of a hat or I just don't want to talk about my problems-- burdening others. I get that's what your friends are for but at the same time, some folks just don't wanna hear that shit sometimes-- or at least that's the thought(s) that goes in your head. However, in this case-- as we have always been able to relate to one another on other levels of our friendship, we were definitely able relate to one another on situations that have clearly been beyond our control as of lately. I can honestly say that I felt better being able to finally get some stuff about how I've been feeling as of lately of my chest and appreciated her reaching out when she did-- guess today was the day I need to hear from someone near and dear.

Although the situation that I have been placed in rather it be by fault or by faith, I feel like Im doing better with just being in the moment when I feel it. The one thing that I don't want to do again is cry while driving. Im one of those people that is scared to sneeze while driving-- that shit ain't no joke and I have adjust and position my sneeze reaction carefully lol... I know it sounds weird but its true! .... and let me stop before I go on a tangent. All of this to say, as I have said in my last post-- believe, trust the process and know that your destination is already confirmed, and it'll reveal itself when its time. It just a manner of patience, and know you'll be off hold from the mainline soon. ... and that's all I got for this segment. Until next time

Journal Prompts For Those Going Through a Breakup

Understanding Your Emotions

Going through a breakup is undeniably tough. I've been there myself, and the whirlwind of emotions can be overwhelming. One moment you're angry, the next you're sad, and sometimes you just feel numb. That's why it's essential to slow down and really try to understand what you're feeling. By using journal prompts, you can start to unravel the complex emotions and piece together what's truly going on inside you.

Finding Clarity

When my last relationship ended, I felt like my mind was one big fog. My thoughts were scattered, and I didn't know what my next steps should be. Using journal prompts can act like a lighthouse, guiding you to clarity amidst the chaos. You start to see patterns in your feelings and thoughts that help you understand what you need to move forward. It's like having a conversation with your inner self.

Processing the Past

Reflecting on my past relationship through journaling helped me make sense of what I went through. I realized areas where I could have acted differently and recognized traits in my ex-partner that weren't good for me. This kind of introspection isn't about blaming yourself or others. It's about understanding past behaviors to create healthier future relationships.

Promoting Healing

Journaling during a breakup isn't just about dissecting the past. It’s also an act of self-compassion. When I took the time to write down my feelings, I felt like I was giving myself the space to heal. It almost felt like giving myself a mental hug. Every journal entry became a stepping stone towards feeling better and more empowered.

Setting New Goals

After understanding where you've been and processing your feelings, journal prompts can help you set new goals for the future. I remember writing about what I wanted to achieve now that I had more time for myself. Whether those goals are about personal growth, career aspirations, or new hobbies, writing them down makes them feel more tangible and achievable.

Creating a Safe Space

A journal is a judgement-free zone. It's a place where you can be totally honest with yourself. When going through a breakup, friends and family will offer advice, but sometimes you just need to be heard. Your journal listens without interrupting. It became my sanctuary, a place to unleash my thoughts and emotions without fear of judgement. Ultimately, breaking up may be hard, but journaling through it can provide the comfort, insights, and clarity needed to heal.

I can't sleep tonight. I took my meds, but I still can't. Getting things out of my mind. Got to contact my worker tomorrow about paperwork n assistance. My landlord is supposed t call t confirm the exterminator appt. I've been back n forth with my landlord through my residence here. I have a flexible part-time job now. So I can wait a bit on them, I'm behind and I'm trying to work some more this week. Normally when I work, they play phone tag while I'm at work, I can't be on the phone there. They schedule appt. t stop by , for servic, oh but you didnt confirm so we didn't schedule it. Or they are scheduled to arrive knowing I have to leave at a certain time and the come late and I'm gone. The male land lord insists on coming unannounced , just yesterday I was informed he decided to show up, 7-8pm.😒. He insists on coming on my weekends or past 5 pm when ppl are trying t wind down. I informed my legal help. He made a practice of doing that when I first got my housing, and I was late regularly, because I'm trying get up, he insisted stressing me out further, on the weekends when he knows, my social worker is not available and banks are closed so their is nothing I can do. Max stress, on sleep meds, pressure, I had not started my therapy yet. I literally had mild panick attacks because of that person.

I'm beyond tired of having to watch what I say n think in my own home. It's just which is it?

I'm tired of feeling like ppl want me t b afraid......I hope ppl catch u.

ppl add pressure to me with no care for my stability n safety. Do I add my own pressure and mistakes, sure, but that's life n that's me. I deal with issues I identify. Me n my guy want to do something's and there is all this pressure btw my goals, my responsibilities, outside sources and our society throws a lot of bullshit responsibilities on us it says we need, but we don't.

the economy should put balance n health before the bottom line. Equally and not abused, things would run more efficiently. So tomorrow, I will b seeing if it's different or the cycle continues. They keep saying it's me.....sleep issues, depression a job where my work wk was Thursday -Sunday.

Taking a break from posting the #100daysproject to catch up with my journal. I know I am late but it's #mentalhealthawareness month. I can't emphasis enough the benefits of journaling on your mental well being. So if you are anxious or overwhelmed, my advice would be to to grab a pen and paper and pour everything out. Of course this doesn't mean it can replace the therapy or reaching out to people. But it's a start. Your mental health is important. Never ever neglect it. If any of you want to talk about your mental health, your feelings or just about anything, please know that I am here. To be able to listen to anyone with empathy and without judgement is best gift you can give to a stranger. . . . #journalling#journal#journals#journalspread#journaling#journallove#junkjournal#scrapbooking#notebook#bujo#bulletjournal#artistsoninstagram#artjournal#journalart#plannerlove#journaltherapy#mindfulness#mentalhealthawarenessmonth (at Pune City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx6u9j_pMs2/?igshid=s35tw0a7ccmh

Just want to say how much I love the @fabercastellusa #gelatos! I've played around with watercolor and have used markers, pencils, and crayons, but these gelatos are by far the best I've used in a long time. Almost dries immediately, easy to use, goes on so smooth you wouldn't know I've added any thing to the paper if you didn't see it, no bleeding or ghosting, and so pretty! Check out the warping of paper from watercolors compared to the gelatos. I'm sold! Last two photos are showing gelatos colors and lack of page warping! #fabercastell #gelatos #watercolor #goodbyewrinkledpages #bohoberry #journaltherapy #bulletjournalcommunity #bulletjournal #prettyplanning https://www.instagram.com/p/BolEPb1nUO6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c2ak6g9qnzai
