Write Your Wrongs

Busy are the days of motherhood with breaks being far and few in between. Motherhood is a rewarding gig that consistently brings about surprises. For our children, and the sake of our own memory, we capture all of our little one's precious moments in  pictures. As women we forget that during this ever evolving time that we are developing as well. Just like the pictures we take of our children, we should capture our own development. I'm not saying take tons of selfies (or usies) but take the time out to jot down whats going on.

Writing is  form of expression that allows you to show your creativity without serious commitment.  This is just an outlet for us that's non judgmental and always available. With a new month right round the corner, its only befitting to start journaling. Some may feel that its tedious, repetitive or boring to write down their thoughts and feelings; however, it is a therapeutic release that has the power to diminish stress.  To make it more enjoyable, I have added different prompts that will spark the journalist within you.

1. Write a letter to yourself in a year from now
2. Write about your proudest mommy moment
3. Rewrite your bucket list
4. Write how you would spend 10 million dollars
5. List your top 10 moments in life
6. List all the people you would like to meet, dead or alive
7. Transcribe your most recent conversation with your little one
8. Write a mock letter to your child that you would like to give to him/her on their 18th birthday
9. Make a list of Saturday activities to do for the next year
10. The failure that's your favorite

In the months to come as you look back on these beginning entries, you will start to see the changes that has taken place. Remember, we are women first.
