#KOKOROWORK Deep Journalling Day 2 💙

Wow, what an incredible response to our first day of deep journalling yesterday. Thank you everyone who joined in, either enjoying a solo practice or sharing with us here.

Here is your question for today:

💙 What tensions or conflicting priorities are real for you right now? (Don’t judge, just write them down) 💙

🕯️If you are just joining, you might like to light a candle before you begin, or put on some quiet music, and then ask the question to yourself, take a deep breath, and listen for the answer. Allow the response to surprise you. Don’t force it. Don’t write what you think you should write in case someone reads it. Just write what comes. I encourage you to write the question across the top of a new page, then fill the entire page with your response. When you have finished, if you want to, feel free to summarise your response in a single sentence and share it in the comments of this post, but this is completely optional. You are very welcome to just enjoy this as a quiet solo practice.

PS 💙 SPECIAL GIFT💙 All the questions in this deep journalling challenge #KOKOROWORK are taken from my new book ‘KOKORO: Japanese wisdom for a life well lived’. I am currently offering a FREE place on my beautiful two-week writing class Autumn Light (which starts on October 15) as a gift for anyone who makes a purchase of Kokoro in September. If you are in the US/Canada this will be a pre-order before Kokoro is published there on October 1. If you are anywhere else you can get the UK edition now, as it is already available, and enjoy reading along as we deep journal together. To claim your free place on Autumn Light please order your copy of Kokoro in any format from any retailer and then pop your receipt details into the short form at bethkempton.com/kokoro. I hope you love both the book and course. 💙
