WRITING PROMPTS
Favorite Things Right Now #1
Summer 2023
I’m launching this new quarterly self-reflection to track what means a lot to me during various chapters of life. It’s directly inspired by writer Laura Tremaine, who runs this feature on her podcast, 10 Things to Tell You.
The whole premise of her podcast is to make you think more deeply so you can connect more deeply—both with yourself and with others. That’s why each episode centers around a topic with 10 related prompts or questions.
I find the “Favorite Things” feature consistently fun and engaging because it’s about celebrating what brings you joy and what you’re grateful for.
After several years of listening to Laura’s favorite things, I decided to start reflecting upon my own. This proved to be such a joyful endeavor! I could simply bury these reflections in my journal, but I want to expand that gratitude outward in the hopes that others try the exercise for themselves. It’s a warm feeling I want everyone to experience, especially since it’s so easy to come by.
(And if you’re encouraged to share your own Favorite Things, please tag me in the post so I can read and respond! Or feel free to comment with a few of your own.)
