Feeling stuck? Do this exercise ✍🏻

I've been feeling stuck since the start of 2023. It wasn't until I read The Artist's Way and committed time and energy to unblock my creative self and do some inner work that I made progress, but this exercise helped me the most.

Since we're planning and preparing for 2024, I wanted to share this exercise, in case you need some help with goal setting and figuring out your priorities. What I love is that it covers every category, and you shouldn't limit yourself with your goals, write down whatever comes to mind first. That's usually what is actually important to you.

The exercise is to number pages 1-7 in your journal and assign a different category at the top of each page for:

- Health

- Possessions

- Leisure

- Relationships

- Creativity

- Career

- Spirituality

Now that you have a blank page per every category, write down 10 things that come to mind for every category. For example, for leisure, I wrote down that I would like to:

- Enjoy rest time without feeling guilty

- Go on more walks

- Travel to my dream destinations

- Try a new hobby that I've never done before

- Try a new sport that I've never played before

You get the point. Once you have a list of 10 items for every category, review what you wrote down and reflect on it. Where do these wants come from? What can you prioritise? What is truly important to you?

Maybe one category stands out the most out of all of them. You should focus on that category more.

You can then set your goals for next year based on this list!

I hope this exercise is helpful!🫶🏻
