Things You Should Know
Magic and Manifestation Expert Leza Labrador suggests writing down things that bother you. List things that make you feel stressed, angry, fearful, or guilty, then choose one thing and write about it until you feel like you can walk away and breathe. You can also use prompts like, "Do I feel anger or resentment toward someone?" "What emotion do I try to avoid feeling the most?" and "What parts of myself do I hide from others?"
What areas do I need the most healing in? How can I become a more whole version of myself. What areas of my life have I been secretly neglecting? Where do you feel most out of control? What do I excuse, rather than address? What hurt me as a child, and what would I say to that hurting child, now?
