Locked ‘Me, Myself & I’ Note Overview - To start making real change, we gotta put in some work. This starts with creating your SAFE SPACE. Doing something from you and for you that's quick, simple, efficient, and accessible. Go ahead and create a locked note on your phone and name it whatever you want - CC’s note is named "Lil CC & More”. She originally used it to chat with her inner child/past self and now it's turned into her full time journal. Use your own locked note to safely connect with yourself and for CMWCC Pro-Tips!
Pro-Tip #5 - This week’s pro-tip is all about creating your very own JoyFULL Toolkit! In your ‘Me, Myself, and I’ locked note, make 3 sections for "Small Joys", "Medium Joys", and "Big Joys." In each section, you're going to jot down 5 joys of those types. The goal here is for you to create a toolkit to access joy easily and efficiently whenever you need it most. And the small, medium, and big framework allows you to utilize your joys to help meet your needs wherever you're at, whenever you're at it. Overtime, continue to revisit your JoyFULL Toolkit and make any changes to ensure the list meets you where you’re at today. See below for examples of Small, Medium, and Big Joys for inspo:
- Small Joys are little things that are super accessible and don't take much effort to facilitate like a drawing a warm salt bath or treating yourself to a whole piece of chocolate cake, going on a hottie walk while listening to your favorite pod, getting a hug from someone you love, eating your favorite meal, doing a face-mask, not skipping your nighttime self-care routine, FaceTiming someone who makes you happy, cuddling with your fur baby, noticing a certain time of day you love, putting on your favorite outfit or popping on some makeup.
- Medium Joys are more time consuming and take a bit more effort (or $$$) to make happen. They’re things like taking yourself out on a date night, making plans to do a fun activity with one of your best people, splurging on a pair of shoes you've been dying to buy, ordering in from your favorite restaurant, going to TJ Maxx/Homegoods and buying some candles, getting tickets to a concert you want to see, going to your favorite workout class, getting a facial or mani/pedi.
- Big Joys are things that require the most time/effort/$$ but also yield the greatest level of joy. Examples include renovating/updating a room in your apartment/house, booking a dream trip to a destination you've been dying to visit, putting effort into pursuing something you're passionate about like starting a volleyball league or going out West to ski for a month, getting yourself a pet, organizing a group trip for you and your squad, working towards getting a new degree.
P.S. Here are directions for how to create a locked note on iPhone and Android.
