Mindful Elements
Inspire and Grow
A week’s worth of prompts and reflections that you can use to take a moment to breathe, find deeper understanding, or reset. Read the Day prompt in the morning to set your intention, and return to the Night prompt in the evening to reflect, release, and reset before rest.
INSPIRED & INSPIRING
☀️ Day
Often, those we interact with most inspire us in some way, yet we don’t acknowledge this inspiration, and sometimes we don’t even recognize it. We simply don’t have the time or bandwidth to process all the ways people around us inspire us.
Reflect
Think of someone in your orbit that you’ll connect with today. How have they inspired you in some way? Tell them!
🌙 Night
Do you ever stop to notice how you may inspire yourself? Going beyond being proud of yourself, inspiring yourself is shining a light on actions, thoughts, or ways of life that have helped you grow.
Reflect
Take a moment to think about this current season of your life. How have you inspired yourself the most? Are you surprised?
GROWTH IN THE TENSION
☀️ Day
99% of the time, we view tension or problems in our lives as obstacles. Instead of framing these as negative, we can look at them as opportunities to grow… to overcome.
Reflect
Ponder about what’s in your life that you’d wish would disappear. Now, if you were to redirect that to view it as a growth opportunity, how would you go about accomplishing (or solving) it? Be inquisitive.
🌙 Night
We learn and are motivated by the past and the present; it allows us to grow towards the future. Whether those are hard-earned lessons, amazing experiences, or unexpected blessings.
Reflect
Think of one thing you can do today that will motivate you in a future season when you reflect back upon this one.
SHINE YOUR LIGHT
☀️ Day
Our own growth and healing often motivate and inspire others. When we shine, our light beams on those around us.
Reflect
Can you pinpoint a moment of growth that went on to help someone else? It what ways could you utilize your growth to light others’ paths?
🌙 Night
Sometimes the best inspiration smacks us when we aren’t expecting it. We don’t always have to seek inspiration.
Reflect
The next time inspiration suddenly hits, act on it. If you can’t do it at that moment, be sure to write it down or even make a voice note so you can hear your excitement later on!
HABITS AS A WAY OF LIFE
☀️ Day
Habits become entire ways of life, ways of thinking, ways of being. Some create dramatic improvements in ourselves over time; others can be quite detrimental.
Reflect
What’s one unfavorable habit that you can replace with a new one that will foster your growth in this season?
🌙 Night
Is your bedtime routine working for you? Do you sleep through the night and wake refreshed?
Reflect
Pick one of the following and commit to making it a habit for 3 days: no screens for 1 hour before bed, 5 minutes of prayer or meditation, or a body scan with breath work.
WISDOM IN THE WONDERING
☀️ Day
Wisdom can only bloom when we continue to ask questions, orbit into the void of the unknown, and genuinely put effort into expanding our knowledge.
Reflect
Today, seek what you’re most curious about. Then, tune your focus to finding a way to continue learning about it.
🌙 Night
No one is omniscient. But everyone can continue to learn. We can learn deeply by first admitting what we don’t know.
Reflect
There might be a few things you wish you didn’t know… But what are some that you’re glad you know? And any that you want to expand upon or learn more about?
DESIGNED WITH PURPOSE
☀️ Day
God designed you with a unique purpose, perspective, and ability to learn and grow from different seasons, all of which can inspire others around you.
Reflect
Take one action today that God is calling you to do that will inspire someone in a season you’ve previously been in.
🌙 Night
God is our ultimate inspiration, of course. It is our mandate to try to be Christ-like and spread His love.
Reflect
Sit with God tonight and listen to how inspired He is by you! He isn’t surprised, but He’s so proud of you.
YOU DESIGN YOUR OWN DAY / NIGHT, SUPERNOVA!
You’re inspiring and growing.
