It’s Gonna Be MaY Journal prompts

As summer approaches, life tends to shift gears and it can be hard to stay grounded. School breaks, holiday vacations, long weekends, pool days, travel ball, and warmer weather can all invite more spontaneity. But they can also bring unpredictability, especially when it comes to our food routines, body image, and self-care.

Whether you’re traveling, spending time with family, attending more social gatherings, baking in the sun by the pool, melting at sporting events, or simply moving through a less structured season…

This month, we’re reflecting on different ways to help you stay connected to yourself, so you can show up the way you want to and move forward with intention every day.

Because summer doesn’t have to be a season of fear, guilt, all-or-nothing mindsets, or “starting over in the fall”. It can be a time of ease, flexibility, and enjoyment when you trust yourself to stay grounded (and you can do that)!

So, I encourage you to embrace there prompts as a way to stay mindful around food, prioritize self-compassion, and explore what balance actually looks like during your summer months. Let this be the season where you love your life again, rather than stress about controlling it or doing it “right” 24/7.

You deserve support for the season ahead :)
