A gentle journaling guide for courage, alignment, and clarity in the face of uncertainty.

Hey, I’m Sophie Mei

~ I’ve spent the last five years obsessing (lovingly) over how humans grow, heal, and become braver versions of themselves. I’m a workshop facilitator, akashic reader, certified energy release practitioner, podcast host and friend. I love creating spaces (and corners of the internet) where people breathe deeply, soften into their truth, and stretch into who they’re becoming. I help humans feel safe enough to become more than how they have always known themselves and their lives to be. ~

How to use this journaling guide?

This guide is an invitation, not an assignment.

You don’t need to journal perfectly, or for a long time.

I simply encourage you to meet yourself and these questions with honesty, openness, and willingness.

How to begin:

• Find a quiet moment where you won’t be rushed.
• Take 3 slow deep belly breaths before writing.
• Let your awareness land in your body.

~ I created these prompts with the intention of facilitating a complete journey for you, ensuring that all your bases be covered. I advise that you use these prompt in its respective order to get a holistic understand about the topic.

~ While suggesting this, I greatly invite you to move through the prompts slowly at your own pace — either one at a time consecutively, or one per day.

~ Curate your experience according to your needs. Journaling is meant to be a personal and subjective experience. There is no “right” order, simply trust what feels right for you🫶.

In the case of resistance, fear, avoidance or numbness arises, then…

1. Pause.
2. Acknowledge the sensation, emotion or thought.
3. Meet it with curiosity instead of force. Speak directly to the sensation, emotion or thought by inquiring in your journal:
   • Eg: Dear fear, I notice and feel you arising in my body. Why are you here? What message are you trying to convey to me? How can I best support you?
   • Feelings are messages from the body trying to indicate something to us. As we meet that part of us with curiosity, attention and understand, alchemization occurs and something within us shifts.

This guide is designed to help you:

• Build trust in the unknown.
• Increase your awareness in moments of discomfort.
• Listen to your inner wisdom that communicates through you.
• Take aligned, courageous steps forward.

I welcome you to this magical process of Becoming where messiness, unfinishness and rawness is celebrated with warm hugs and open arms.

As you embark on this inner journey within yourself, I remind you gently that clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder; it comes from listening deeper.

Ps: If at any point it becomes all too overwhelming for you, please feel free to reach out on Instagram and I will schedule a 15 minute free zoom call with you to help you process your experience.

1. What feels unknown in my life right now?
2. What am I standing at the edge of⛰️?

~ Describe it without judging it or trying to solve it.

2. The Body’s Truth

1. When I think about this unknown:
   • What sensations arise in my body🗣️?
   • What emotions surface?
   • What thoughts or beliefs make themselves known?
2. What might my body be trying to protect me from?
3. What might it be trying to move me toward?

3. The Cost of Staying

a) If I stay exactly where I am for the next year:

• What do I gain (internally and externally)?
• What do I slowly lose (internally and externally)?
