What enchants you? A journal writing exercise.
Published July 31, 2011 | 
The definition of enchantment according to Dictionary.com:
“captivation: a feeling of great liking for something wonderful and unusual”
What enchants you?
For today’s journal writing session let’s do this simple exercise: write down a list of anything that enchants you. What we focus on grows so why not concentrate on the things that give us wonder, awe, delight, and enchantment!
Let’s see, in my journal this morning my list may begin like this:
What enchants me…
1. Sunsets
2. Moonlight twinkling on the ocean
3. A beautiful panoramic view: a city skyline, a mountain top setting, a valley, the ocean, a canyon, a river etc.
4. A little baby’s face lighting up with a great big smile
5. The intuition, affection, and sensitivity that my cat displays towards me when I am feeling down and in need of cheering up.
I could keep going but I want you to now think about what enchants you!
Have a blessed day and enjoy,
Debra

Writing down options
Published November 6, 2010 | 
If there is something in your life you would like to change but not sure how to go about it, get out your journal and write down options. Make a long list of anything that comes to mind about this situation. Do not call them “your options” however. If you think of them as your options you will be inclined to judge them and rule them out before even writing them down.
They are simply a list of options.
Time to get writing!
