A Month of “I Am Important Too” Self Reflection Questions

A Month of “I Am Important Too” Self Reflection Questions

Self-reflection, seeking gratitude, daily journaling…all ways to see life and ourselves more clearly.  I find myself seeking these opportunities during times of stress, which happens most days when raising children, especially a highly anxious child.  Throughout the past year, I have worked hard to make time for myself, with the intention of not losing “ME” when I get overwhelmed in being a mom and a wife.  

Each day is unique, some bringing many moments of happiness and joy, while others may be filled with more moments of sadness and concern.  Even in the tough moments of life, we can find the good. Often, we focus so much on others, we forget that we are important. Taking 5 minutes to think and answer these questions, followed by finding a way to celebrate the small moments of you, can remind you that you are as important as those you take care of.  

Each day in November, I will post a question on our Facebook page and our Instagram page.   (Facebook Page and Instagram Page)  Join us in celebrating ourselves by sharing your response with others.  If you feel shy, answer the questions in your own way, but make sure to take just 5 minutes for yourself with our “I Am Important, Too” self-reflection questions, one each day.  

For those who enjoy journaling, use these questions as a journal prompt. If you are like me, journaling is something I would love to get in the habit of doing daily, but right now, answering this questions with a phrase or sentence will be an intro into journaling down the road.  If you prefer to print this list, you can do that here.
