Healing Moments: What Do You Want to Leave Behind Before September?

This is the last journal prompt of the summer — and next week's Healing Moment is the final one before Season 2 launches. So this week's prompt is about making space for what's next by naming what you're ready to release.

Today's prompt: What do I want to leave behind before September?

Some ways to go deeper:

What thought pattern have you been dragging around all summer (or longer) that you're genuinely tired of?
Is there a habit or coping behavior that's stopped serving you?
Is there a relationship dynamic, resentment, or expectation you're willing to loosen your grip on?
Is there a smaller, more fearful, more apologetic version of yourself you're ready to stop leading with?

You don't have to be fully ready to release it — you just have to be willing to name it. Write it down, then write this: I am willing to leave this behind. I don't need it where I'm going.

A first look at Why You Can't Stop 🌱 Jessica shared a first glimpse behind the scenes at Why You Can't Stop — a 7-module, self-paced course for anyone whose nervous system has been stuck in go mode for so long that stopping feels unsafe. It's designed to help you understand the pattern, not just white-knuckle through it. Launching in September, with more details coming soon.

Season 2 of Healing Is My Hobby begins next Monday. 🎉
