Contemplative Mid-Year, Self Reflection Journal Questions
What a crazy year it's been. We're halfway through it, and it feels like we are in some kind of weird time warp. My chronic-illness has been up and down and all over the place this year. I’m both tired and wired. I’m trying to keep up with the news but I also have to check-out from it. I know I need to check-in with myself, and the mid-year is a good time to check-in, see how aligned I feel, see what needs to change to support myself, and see what might be helpful.
Have you checked in with yourself lately?

Set a time to journal and allow these prompts to inspire growth and self-reflection.
