I promised you that we’d be using the prompt you didn’t choose yesterday in today’s journaling session, and I am a woman of my word.

Here are your options again, exactly as they were written yesterday because I trust you don’t need any additional context to figure out what you want to write about:

Choice A: Write a description of where your Super Hero self came from. This can be another planet, a star, a meteor, an asteroid, another country or city on Earth. It could even be the same place that you have been envisioning your Super Hero self working to protect and serve this whole time. Just decide what the place where you were before you started fighting crime looks like.

If it is the same place (same exact city, like Peter Parker/Spiderman grew up in NYC and became famous for being a Super Hero there too), then I want you to write what the city/town looked like BEFORE you started acting as a Super Hero, and what it looks like after you’ve “won” or “accomplished your mission”. When your Super Hero work is “complete”.

Get clear on what the place looks like.

• Is it a small town, a village, a busy city, somewhere in between? Maybe it’s even an urban slum somewhere with overcrowding, government corruption, a problem you wouldn’t be able to solve WITHOUT completing your mission first.
• Does this place have the same days and nights that you are used to here on Planet Earth?
• What kind of food do you eat there?
• What kind of amenities are around? For example, are there stores the way there are where you’re used to, is there the same kind of economy, do you have to buy things or is everything just available to all people for free?
• What does this “home planet” or “hometown” look like?
• Is there a government, or something else?
• Do kids go to school there, or is there another way for them to grow into educated adults?
• Do people work?
• Does education matter, or is there some other way of being able to operate successfully in the world?

There are lots of details you can imagine and make up in this exercise. Do people drive cars, ride bikes, walk everywhere, take public transportation? Do they fly, swim, hoverboard, ride in wheelchairs, skateboards, or something else that no one has ever thought of (yet)?

Remember, you can always return to any prompt if you get fresh, new ideas as the days go by and add to what you’ve already created. If more comes to mind, why not?

Choice B: Write a description of what your TRUE SELF looks like. Again, if you are envisioning that your place of origin is another planet, a star, a meteor, an asteroid, somewhere else in SPACE, what does your original body look like? Get really clear on what you looked like before you started acting as a Super Hero. Who were you before you started fighting crime?

• Can you imagine your “alien” face?
• If you are imagining yourself from another country or city on Earth, did you always look the way you were imagining our “Plain Clothes” self to look? Maybe in your hometown you were always sporting a tan because you spent all day every day out in the sun.

If you wrote answers to both prompts yesterday, you get to decide what you want to do today! Do you want to go back and edit/bulk up your responses? Or do you want to write about something else?

Writing this way is meant to help you strengthen your relationship with your inner self. Listen to the voices within that guide your creative process.

Write whatever you want to write. See you tomorrow 🙂
