BARE yourself: Daily Journal

This is your clean slate. It's your new beginning or your continuation of growth on a stack of blank pages. There are no prompts, no distractions, nothing to pull your mind in any direction. I'm Raina and you've picked up my journal. In 2020 as I worked through many of life's pivots, I started to put my thoughts onto paper in hopes that it would help me make sense of the ideas, stresses, noises, and chaos running through my mind. The right question at the right time can take you so deep into yourself that it's transformative. Journaling has given me that. The power to write down the thoughts around where I'm at in my life, situation, & journey to help me uncover the reality of it all. I wrote every single day for 30 days before I as able to silence my inner critic and let myself dig deeper into my thoughts. I deconstructed everything about myself in order to gain truth and clarity. I shifted my mindset towards things that have happened to me in order to move forward. You aren't the same person on both sides of a life changing event and journaling helped me understand the woman I was transitioning into. I gained a deeper understanding of the people in my life. I dove into my inconsistencies and strategized. I created a vision and manifested what felt good, aligned. And I shared it all (even private journaling entries from this exact journal) in my book, #1 Best Seller, BARE. Allow yourself to get curious. Ask the questions. If you don't know where to start, write: I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. - over and over again until your head allows other words in. If you woke up anxious, write: TODAY I FEEL _________. Anxious, sad, worried, fearful, happy, full of joy - and then ask WHY? If you feel stuck, write out the day as if you've already lived it. If you feel uninspired, create a vision. What would the highest version of you do with today? You're done overthinking. These are your pages, your words. No more looking outside of yourself for answers. Strip yourself bare. Underline the month. Circle the day. And start... x Raina
