How to Journal during this moon phase
It is now the time to renew and improve your goals and intentions for this whole lunar cycle. Let everything come to you and inspire you. Sit with yourself and think about your goals and what you have accomplished in them so far. Are there any areas that need some re-tooling? What can you improve? What can you do to attract more motivation and gumption towards your goals? What are the new steps that you need to add to your action plan to achieve these goals? Upon observing the moon, remember you might not always be able to see the moon, first record your feelings and any emotions that come up while gazing up at the moon. Then think to yourself or say out loud:
“I focus all of my energy on (goal / intention)” or “I trust in myself that I am (goal / Intention).”
OR
“I trust that the perfect intention is coming into form at the perfect time.”
Then record this prompt in your journal.
You can use this lunar journaling method as a tool to keep yourself on track toward your goal. I have found that its easier to have a plan and a schedule on which to think and focus your intentions. This helps you know where you are in your journey, what to look for, and keep you thinking about your end goal, which makes you take subconscious steps towards it with out you even knowing. Basically, it all boils down to keeping your goals top of mind so you keep going for them.
