We explore why we settle for less than we deserve in relationships, jobs, and life situations, examining how journaling can help us recognize patterns and reconnect with our true desires.
• Settling often stems from not believing we're worthy of better options
• Fear of the unknown and change keeps us in uncomfortable but familiar situations
• We often don't realize we're settling until well past the honeymoon phase
• Staying in situations where we've settled creates anger, resentment, and loss of self
• Being "impeccable with your word" requires aligning your actions with your stated desires
• Writing down what you want creates a contract with yourself
• Your body signals when you're settling through depletion and exhaustion
• Regular journaling helps unblock creativity and clarify what you truly want
• Telling yourself "I love you" can help heal abandonment wounds
• Journal prompts: "I am," "I receive," "I trust," "I will," and "I allow"
Set aside 3-5 minutes daily for journaling and notice how it helps you recognize where you're settling and what changes you need to make.
