26. From Struggle to Strength: Building Your Life After Narcissistic Trauma

Here are the first building blocks you need to start building your life after healing.

We’ll discuss the things you should be journaling about and exercises you can begin doing to get started.

Here’s a quick look. Listen in to learn more.

This is about the blueprint and these are the strategies for crafting a fulfilling life beyond the shadows of narcissistic abuse.

Here’s to designing a life that radiates resilience and joy after overcoming the impact of trauma.

Journal questions:

If you were already the woman you wanted to be in the life, love, and work you wanted to have, what would that life look like and how would you be moving through the world.

Get clear on the vision and picture, as far as you know it right now. You might always shift and change it later.
As you start your day, check in with yourselves about decisions you can make in your day that are consistent with that vision.
In moments of decision making, ask yourselves which choices take you closer to that vision and choose accordingly.
At the end of the day, review how you did and hold yourself accountable to any places where you moved further away and allow yourselves a do over.

Journal Two: When you are doing well and feeling good, what is a list of things that have contributed to you doing good and feeling well. Which things have you stopped? What do you need to return to? How are you going to go about doing so?

Journal Three: Climate check. What needs your attention? What is the climate of your life, love or work? What are the weather events that are contributing to a hard climate? What needs to be tended to? What needs to be increased?
