Just a quick note inspired by my personal journaling…

I work through my life in the pages of my journal. Asking myself good questions has been life-changing. It seems so simple, but don’t knock it ‘til you try it 😉.

⯁ Hard Work

I’ve been struggling lately with my work feeling too easy. Shouldn’t work be hard? Challenging? Stressful? Aren’t you lazy if it’s easy? If your work feels easy and you’re not sure if that’s okay, maybe try the questions below.

(Note: I am not referring to paid work in these questions. I myself do much work, but none of it for pay.)

Journal Prompts

⯁ Is “work” always something that is difficult?

⯁ Who are some examples of people I know who have been successful in their work and also don’t seem like life is difficult for them?

⯁ Is “easy” work bad?

⯁ Can some find the same work “hard” that others find “easy”?

⯁ Does the difficulty of my work determine my value as a person?

⯁ Is there anything I want to change about my work – to make it more challenging (because I’m bored) or to make it more relaxed (because I’m maxed out)?
