Do you have a hobby or skill you do really well and makes you feel good? What about a habit that you do well because it’s what you’re used to but want to change?
Note: If you want to change a habit, what is something you want to do instead and think will align more with your needs and goals?
Friendly Reminder: It’s okay if you do something well but also realize that there’s room to grow and improve.
I’ll go first!
I’m really good at writing and creating worksheets and community building activities.
AND
I’m also good at getting my personal projects done but find myself procrastinating and leaving them for the last minute. I’m working on balancing my schedule to include my personal projects along with my daily work.

Here are some details for the event:
Title
Pick Your Joy
Description
“Pick Your Joy” is a creative and fun event focused on reflecting and expressing what joy looks and feels like to us. Starting with an ice breaker, we will sketch an image and write about one fun fact about ourselves. The main activity will then be to pick one of two activities. The first activity will be to draw what it’s like for you to experience joy and the second activity will be to write a poem about an exciting moment in your life. Lastly, we will close by sharing our works of art.
Materials: Paper and writing utensils (pen, pencil, crayons, markers, etc)
Hope to see you there!
I connect with the inner workings of my mind.
I connect with myself.
Who am I?
What am I doing here?
I sit and I ponder as I press the keys on my keyboard.
Words flow from my mind to the ends of my fingertips.
I’m free to express my thoughts, the energy of my consciousness.
I create because I am the creator.
I set the tone to what is happening to me.
I am because I exist.
I exist because I am.
I am one with myself.
I’ve come to know peace.
Poem shared in Mighty Poets with prompt above as well.
Finish these sentences:
I let go of ___________.
I welcome ___________.
A new month has started!
Let’s create positive intentions by affirming what we want to let go of and what we want to welcome.
I let go of fear, limiting beliefs, doubt, shame, and negative thoughts about love.
I welcome peace, love, success, abundance of all kinds, opportunities that fit my needs, new growth and knowledge.

What is one thing you want to change, improve, or do more of this year?
Ever since this year started, I’ve been on a mission to prioritize what’s best for me. From the
opportunities I’m accepting to what I’m eating and who I’m interacting with, I’m checking in with myself daily to make sure what I’m doing is a reflection of what I want and deserve.
In that process, I’ve thought a lot about what I need more of and what I want to improve. One major thing I know I want/need more of (because It’s almost nonexistent in my life) is having fun and defining what fun looks like for me. I want to spend more time doing things I enjoy!
What about you? Is there anything you want to change, improve, or do more of this year?

Finish this sentence:
I like to boost my self-esteem by ________.
Building my self-esteem is an ongoing journey I work on regularly. On that journey I’ve learned different ways to help myself feel better especially when my mental health isn’t great and I’m feeling depressed, sad or self-critical of what I’ve achieved so far in my life.
I particularly like to boost my self-esteem by doing a combination of these three things:
1. Repeating this affirmation, “I am doing my best and my best is enough.”
2. Going to get my eyebrows done and buying myself something nice (when it’s in my budget).
3. Writing on my blog about something I’ve overcome or accomplished that I’m most proud of.
What about you? How do you boost your self-esteem?
