Wisdom – Jem™ for the Day from the Original Journaling Jems™ – Write a letter to future generations.  What life lessons have you learned?  What wisdoms would you like to pass on?    If you have children, grandchildren or someone else’s children in your life, consider sharing this letter with them.

Think about what lesson you wish you had learned earlier in your life.

How? – Journaling Jem™ for the Day from Journaling Jems™ for the Business Professional – How is a great question to ask to stimulate your unconscious to bring you the answers you need.  Think about any business problem or issue.  Write a list of as many How? questions as you can think of that relate to it.

Some examples…. How can I generate more revenue today? How can I give better customer service? How do I increase traffic to my website?

You can also use this same technique for personal problems or issues.
For example….. How can I eat more healthily?  How can I find time to exercise?  How can I spend quality time with my friends and family?

Appreciation – Jem™ for the Day from the Original Journaling Jems™ – Think of someone in your life.  Write a list of all the things you appreciate about them.  Think of someone else.  Write another list of all the things you appreciate about them.  Repeat.  Share your list with these people.

Who are you going to appreciate today?

De-Stress – Journaling Jem™ for the Day from Journaling Jems™ for the Business Professional –  Being in business can be a lot of pressure.  What can you do today for yourself?  If not today, then this week?  Make a list.  Maybe just take a deep breath, go for a walk or call a friend.

I’m meeting a friend for lunch today. Tomorrow, after a speaking engagement, I’m going to another friend’s house for dinner and a movie.

Who is in your life? – Jem™ for the Day from the Original Journaling Jems™ – Make two lists.  First, list all the people in your life who make you feel bad, who make you feel drained.  Then, list all the people in your life who you feel great around, who support you, who energize you.  Plan to spend more time with people on the second list.

Sometimes you need to “fire your friends”.  If they are not supportive of you and your dreams, at the very least, spend less time with them.

Support System – Journaling Jem™ for the Day from Journaling Jems™ for the Business Professional – What is your support system?  Who is in your corner?  Mindmap or make a list of existing and potential people and systems that support you.

 Of course, it’s great if there are lots of friends and family members in your support system, but don’t forget mentors, coaches, business partners, etc.  And systems may be something as small as giving yourself the gift of a monthly manicure and pedicure to help you relax and look good.

Your Inner Critic – Journaling Jem™ for the Day from the Original Journaling Jems™ – You know – that voice in your head that says things like…. “Who do you think you are?”   Have a conversation with her or him.  Take two different color pens and use one for each person.  Write as if you are having a conversation.  Write what you “hear” their response to be.

What is your Inner Critic saying to you today? And how are you responding?

Journaling Jem for the Day from Journaling Jems™ for the Business Professional – What do you need to learn? – Knowing what you don’t know is a great start.  Free write about areas where you think you knowledge is lacking and how you plan to remedy this.

One of the reasons I love teaching Journaling Jenius workshops is my own need to be a continual learer.

And when people have breakthroughs for their lives, businesses or careers it is always an awesome experience for the entire group.
