Soul Journaling Sessions Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Your Journal Prompts:

Reflect on how you may feel broken on the inside. We all have some broken pieces within. Is there something that you feel guilt or shame around? Most of the time, it can stem from our childhood and translate in our lives in ways like being a people pleaser or not being able to say no.

Journal about how you feel broken and become an onlooker – speak to yourself as if you are a child or a friend.

Reflect on how you used to be creative – this could just be one outlet like drawing, painting, or papier-mâché. Whatever it is, think about it. What did you enjoy getting lost in when you were younger and then life happened, and you had no time anymore?

Journal about how this creative outlet made you feel or how you would like to feel with a creative outlet – it could even be walking in nature. Reconnect with your inner healer and allow your creative side to lead the way by asking what it needs to nurture your inner healer.

Your Journal Prompts:

What are your earliest memories of eros/romantic love? What beliefs and values about it were instilled in you or did you take for granted?

Have you ever given up on romantic love, or has your view of romantic love changed over the course of your life?

Do you think romantic love will continue to dominate in media and culture over other types of love (friendship, self-love, nature/universal love)? Why or why not?

If you are so inspired, write your own letter to Eros this Valentine’s Day.

This week’s guest host is Maria Luz O'Rourke, and she's sharing with us her Letter to Romantic Love. She writes of her personal journey with romantic love, bringing us through all the twists and turns and lessons—many of which I believe will resonate with you. She shows us what it looks like to grow and gradually develop a healthy relationship with love overall (despite earlier setbacks), and reminds us that it’s okay to find ourselves wanting and needing different types of love at different phases of our lives.

I hope you enjoy listening to Maria’s letter and consider writing your own this Valentine’s Day!
