What do you want to write about today?

Did you enjoy the free write yesterday, or not?

If you did, and you want to continue writing of your own accord today, please do.

If you want a little bit of guidance, here is my suggested prompt for today:

• Where in your life do you feel like you don’t have a choice?
• What do you have to do?
• What do you feel like you get to choose?
• What do you get to do?

You can create two lists if you’d like. One for the things you have to do/don’t get to choose and one for the things you get to choose/get to do.

If you feel like you’ve already done this one before and don’t want to do it again, then I offer you a third option for today:

• What is something you wish you could choose to do if you only had the time/money/energy/space/resources etc.

Let’s say you’re a parent, and you really wish that for 8 months you could just travel the world alone, or with your spouse, no kids. Or you wish you could travel together as a family but your kids have school, they would probably complain the whole time, you wouldn’t be able to do the hikes you want to do if they were with you.

Where do you feel like your current life is holding you back from the life of your dreams? What would you rather be doing instead if you could without guilt, without resentment, without fear of losing your job, abandoning your spouse, traumatizing your children, shirking all responsibilities.

There you go! You have three topics to choose from today. This isn’t a day 1 and day 2 kind of situation. Tomorrow there will be a new prompt. You’re always welcome to incorporate more than one today, or if you feel like you want to veer off course and revisit these on another day you are more than welcome to do that too.

You are in control of this process. I am merely guiding you along the way.

See you tomorrow! 😘
