In honor of the Fourth of July, I offer a simple journal exercise of writing a list of things that make you feel free. My list today would begin like this:

What makes me feel free:

1. Not worrying about anything.

2. Time to do what I want to do: (write, exercise, spend time with family, etc.)

3. A good night’s sleep

4. Feeling focused with a sense of purpose

5. The fact that I am blessed to live in a country where I am free to move about, use the internet and pretty much write about what I want, wear what I want, practice the religion of my choice, etc.

Your turn:

What makes you feel free? Write a list in your journal and then a good practice would be to write “thank you” after each idea.

What we appreciate appreciates.

I appreciate being free!

Enjoy a blessed day of freedom

Debra
