Try to consider this mindfulness activity in the morning. When you wake up, or before you truly begin your day, finish the following sentence:
“By the time my head hits the pillow tonight, I intend to feel like I really _.”
What are you hoping to feel by the end of this day?
Guide the rest of today with intentional energy and direction.
By the time you go to bed tonight, what do you want to feel like you really put out there, feel proud of, won’t have a regret about, or feel fulfilled by?
Try not to focus on the exact outcome or result of your day.
This prompt is instead all about focusing yourself into the intentions of your actions, words and thoughts. It’s a metric for guiding your day. Outcomes and
results are probably beyond your control, anyway. And expectations have a way of breeding resentments and disappointment.
What do you intend to lead your day with? Follow that energy.
Express a few ways that you can specifically align your deeds, words and thoughts to that goal.
In your journal response, address the following (in paragraph form, not just a list):
How did you finish the statement: “By the time my head hits the pillow tonight, I intend to feel like I really _.” What were you hoping to feel by the
end of the day?
How did you plan to accomplish that goal/feeling?
How did you align your thoughts, deeds, or words to that goal?
How did you feel by the end of the day?
