Why not reflect on this year and Journal?

Journaling for just a few minutes every day can help turn it into a stress-relieving, sustainable habit.

One of your best wellness tools may be a journal. Journaling offers an array of benefits — from easing stress to sparking self-discovery.

When negative or worried thoughts arise, it can be easy to get caught up in them.

Jotting down your thoughts, however, “creates space and distance to consider them in a more objective way,” says Sabrina Romanoff, PsyD, a clinical psychologist in New York City.

This distance is called cognitive defusion, a helpful concept from acceptance and commitment therapy. “The idea is that you are not your thoughts, emotions, or physical symptoms; instead, you are the context in which they occur,” says Romanoff.

If your thoughts aren’t serving you, you don’t have to believe them. You can use journaling to see your thoughts as separate from you.

    Venture into the kingdom of Leo, the vibrant heart of the Zodiac, where sunlight reigns and valor thrives. Embodied by the majestic Lion, Leo is illuminated by the unwavering luminance of its ruling planet, the Sun. A fiery sign, with the essence of flames that roar with pride, warmth, and creativity. Imagine the striking presence of a lion, reigning supreme in its territory, exuding confidence, and drawing admiration from all – that’s the quintessential Leo.

    The spirit of Leo is a tapestry of nobility, generosity, charisma, and strength. Born leaders, they stride forth with a natural prowess, captivating those around them with their undeniable charm and infectious enthusiasm. Their aura is grand, their influence, profound. Yet, just as the sun can be overshadowed by clouds, Leo’s vibrant disposition can dim, seeking external validation. Appreciation, loyalty, and true recognition act as mirrors, reflecting their brilliance back to them. In the absence of such reflections, Leo might retreat, battling internal doubts and insecurities.

    Peel back the layers, and you’ll discover the dichotomy within Leo. Beneath their regal demeanor lies a sensitive core, a silent yearning for acceptance, and a hint of vulnerability. This duality can manifest as extravagant shows of grandeur or moments of undue pride. Yet, it’s this synthesis of valiance and vulnerability that makes Leo truly magnetic. They are both powerful and tender, dominant and nurturing.

    Leo’s voyage is one of splendor and struggles, of ambitions realized and pride humbled. But one constant remains: with introspection and growth, Leo can realize their boundless potential, basking in their true light and leading with unyielding love and grace. So, immerse yourself in the world of Leo, where warmth meets willpower, and every moment is golden.
