trying to get my steps in without just grinding them out on the treadmill (super demotivating, it's so boring!!) so I went to my local mall that went through a rough patch and I hadn't been inside of in years
I felt like I belonged!!! so many things were in my size, employees acknowledged me like they actually expected me to spend money there, and I liked seeing myself in all the different mirrors!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think my outfit exactly matched their expectations for someone with money to spend, and for sure my overall impression is of someone who exists, but I'm probably someone on the way to somewhere else, not a focal point at all, like someone who may or may not be an employee from another store or something
that's definitely something I've been aware of for a long time; the 'getting pretty on purpose' tagline of my blog is an acknowledgment of that; on the whole, I'm enjoying being effectively a blank canvas right now, like a plant that you don't remember what you planted and right now all I've got is a stem and a leaf or two that doesn't give you any clues as to how I may or may not bloom

listen to your heart! journaling ideas
emotional check-in: write about your current feelings. no judgment, no editing, no need to be aesthetically pleasing, just let your heart be free so you can understand what’s truly going on.
core values: list your core values and how they align with your decisions and choices you make. are you staying true to these values?
dreams and ambitions: be specific and detailed about what you desire, no matter how big or small. consider why you have these dreams, how important they are and how they make you feel.
barriers: journal about the barriers you find that are stopping you from following your heart. can they be owned or outlined? are they impossible to move? what can you do to achieve something similar?
heart healing: think about the time when your heart was broken (not only romantically). write about the experience and how you healed or about your ongoing healing. what lessons did you learn from that?
letters from the heart: write a letter to yourself or someone else about what you’ve been holding back. will you write about love, forgiveness, angriness or some truth?
heart vs head: explore a decision where your heart and head were in conflict. how did you solve the problem? were you satisfied?
gratitude: list things that you’re deeply grateful for. focus how each one touches your heart and the emotions you feel towards them.
