What Do YOU Want? 💛

Not what everyone expects from you.

Not what you've always done.

Not what feels comfortable.

What do YOU actually want now?

One of the things I've noticed about midlife is that many women aren't losing themselves.

They're finally finding themselves.

After years of caring for everyone else, we get a chance to ask a question we haven't asked in a long time:

✨ What do I want?

Not five years from now.

Not someday.

Now.

Today's Journal Prompt

💛 I want more...

My answers:

✨ More laughter

✨ More peace

✨ More adventures

✨ Less worrying about things I can't control

And maybe...

✨ Fewer bras with underwire 😂

One thing these 30 days have reminded me is that none of us were meant to navigate this season alone.

So what do YOU want more of?
