Happy Spring :) is it too early to say that? I always feel like March is that weird in-between point between Winter and Spring where none of us know what season it is and we are all just trying to survive in the midst of allergies and inconsistent weather. March 1st kicked off the start of the Stay Rooted 30 day Journal Challenge as well as Womxn’s History Month. In my last post, I talked about why journaling was important to me and offered some tips for y'all to stay motivated and consistent along the way. If you have not checked out that blog post yet, make sure you do because we could all use some helpful tips on how to be more consistent. The Stay Rooted Journal challenge is a 30 day challenge with Be Rooted Co. where we journal for 30 consecutive days via the guided prompts. The goal in this challenge is to integrate journaling into your daily routine so it becomes more of a habit than just an occasional activity. The journal prompts range in topics from reflective questions to random brain dumps. I highly recommend it. Here is a full list of the Stay Rooted Challenge 30-Day journal prompts. Even if you did not start the challenge on March 1st, now is the perfect time to start. Day 1- I am most proud of myself for accomplishing? Day 2- What is something that my younger self would be surprised to know about me now? Day 3- What is my biggest insecurity and why? Day 4- What are 5 things I wish people knew about me?

Remember, even if you happen to miss a day or two (because life does happen)- don’t beat yourself up- just pick up where you left off the next day. I hope that at the end of this challenge you will find yourself more committed and aligned with your self-care and reflection. Until next time Xoxo Jas
