THE RELATIONSHIP JOURNAL

Alright you incredible humans, welcome to The Relationship Journal.


Before you get started, here are a few notes to keep in mind: 

This is a practice. In the same way that we don’t just wake up a top performer in any
field, practicing healthy relationship awareness is a skill set that requires consistent
and intentional repetition. Friends, there is some relearning that we need to do here,
so if you’re in, here are some of the things that are going to help you move through it. 

1. Commit to this practice every day for 30 days. You have got to repeat this over
and over again. Find a time in your day when you can spend about 10 minutes of
non-distracted (yes, I just bolded and underlined) time with this. 

Set a reminder on your phone. 


Grab yourself an accountability partner. 
Find a convenient time to do it (morning or evenings are generally best). 
Keep your journal available to you. (Don’t be the person who gets in bed and
realizes the journal is in the living room so you don’t want to get up and get it ;)).
Predict the excuses and get ahead of them!

2. Notice your resistance. New routines can be incredibly challenging to follow. Our
systems LOVE predictability and what we’re about to do here asks you to shake
things up a bit and get unpredictable. What to do? Be with your resistance.
Acknowledge it “Hello, resistance. I see you and am feeling you. AND, I’d like to
move past you anyway because I know this practice is important for me."

3. Write it down. Yes, with your hand. Typing isn’t quite the same even though it
can be incredibly convenient. Pen to paper, friends. That’s how the re-wiring
begins to happen. Surrender and lean into it. 

4. It is okay if you repeat answers. You don’t always need to come up with
something new every day, but lean into it and see how you can expand outside
of your comfort zone. Maybe you build upon an answer from the day before.
Regardless, you are not required to write something new every day.
