Resources and Emotion Wheel
Identify the Issue at Hand
What is one thing right now in your life you feel needs supported, helped with, or fixed? Take it one small step at a time while finding your solution and take action even if it seems scary.
Find Your Passion
Life is too short to do something you don't love. Find your passion and pursue it with all your heart. When you do what you love, you find a lot of comfort and peace in it.
Set SMART Goals
Setting goals is important, but setting SMART goals is even more effective. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound. They give you a clear roadmap for achieving your dreams. This will help you set realistic goals for yourself that are achievable.
Take Action Today
The only way to make your dreams a reality is to take action. Don't wait for the perfect moment, start today and take small steps towards your goals every day. Every step counts and brings you closer to your dreams.
Get Out of Your Head
Overthinking and analysis paralysis can hold you back from achieving your dreams. Get out of your head and take action. Trust your intuition and take calculated risks. Fix things that you feel need changed and have the courage to do so even when it’s hard.
Surround Yourself with Support
Achieving your dreams is not a solo journey. Surround yourself with a supportive network of friends, family and mentors who will encourage and uplift you every step of the way. This really helped me for a long time until all I needed was myself and my family.
Celebrate Your Progress
Don't wait until you achieve your ultimate goal to celebrate. Celebrate every milestone and progress you make along the way. Even if you think it’s just a baby step. It's a great way to stay motivated and keep pushing forward. Head in the direction you want and celebrate it!
Embrace Failure
Failure is not the opposite of success, it is a part of it. Don't be afraid to fail, it is through our failures that we learn and grow. Embrace failure as a necessary step towards achieving your goals.
Emotional Wheel and Journaling
For my journaling, I use what's called an emotion wheel. You can look them up online and find photos, I posted a picture next to this section of the one I use. It helps me label my feelings at any given time and I also use it for my little ones to tell me their feelings. Overall this a good thing to have because it will help you stay in the moment, feel the feelings, and not get lost in them.
