Act with intention (Journal Entry)
February 4th, 2026, 5:36 a.m.
"How could I be move compassionate towards myself today?” There is a balance you must find between being proud of your accomplishments and generating a false sense of self-importance. I am proud of what I’ve done, especially in these last few months. But I also know that I have plenty of work to do and plenty of room to grow. I have gotten better at not so harshly judging myself for the small mistakes I make, so long as I reflect on them and do my best not to make them again.
Today I would like my focus to be on being more intentional throughout the day. If you are doing a task, ensure that task gets all the attention you can give it. Say what you mean. If you have a question, just ask the question, without fear of judgment. Do not sit and wonder. However, this goes both ways. Do not let others sit and wonder about your intentions, thoughts, or feelings. If you must bring something up, then do so. Do not insinuate, causing others to assume, and do not make assumptions yourself. Do not be sarcastic. Say what you mean, how you feel, and what you need. There is nothing particularly standing out as a difficult task for today, but the list of things you must do is there. You know you will accomplish this list no matter what, so isn’t it better to do it while being grateful for having the ability to do it? Grateful for your hands to write? Grateful for your legs to walk? Grateful for your mind to live? Grateful those around you have the same? Be intentionally grateful, so you can complete the tasks of yet another day with intention.
