See your life as a movie or TV show

Daily Journal Prompts - 21 October 2024

Imagine watching a movie or TV show.

You are invested. You want the protagonist to succeed.

And then they do something that doesn’t make sense.

You are upset. Why did they do that? Why did they say that? What were they thinking?

Now, imagine that you were actually watching a show about your life where you play the main character.

Are there moments when you want to yell at yourself to act differently? Are you questioning your actions?

Sometimes, we are too close to the action and struggle to make sense of the patterns and behaviours that need to change.

This is a great exercise to zoom out, step back and gain perspective.
