The idea behind "Driver's Seat Journal" was born out of a profoundly challenging season in my life, during which I'm overhwhelmed with heartache and mental and emotional exhaustion to the extent that getting out of bed and facing the day is a struggle many mornings. In this difficult period, I found joy and motivation in a morning routine I established seven years ago. This routine became the catalyst that compelled me to throw the covers off and rise again each day, despite the mornings I woke up filled with worry.
The concept of being in the "driver's seat" represents having a sense of control, purpose, and direction in your life, even amidst adversity. It symbolizes your ability to navigate and steer your own course, to make choices and take actions that shape your day, regardless of the challenging circumstances surrounding you. This empowerment became my lifeline, allowing me to face each day with determination, ultimately helping me to survive this hard season one day at a time.
Recognizing the impact this morning routine had on my ability to face the day and regain control over my life, I was inspired to create the "Driver's Seat Journal" as a means of extending this support to others. The journal is designed to serve as a source of hope, motivation, and empowerment for anyone who may be going through a challenging season, struggling to find their way, or seeking to reclaim their sense of purpose and control.
My vision for the "Driver's Seat Journal" is to provide a daily tool that individuals can look forward to utilizing each morning, irrespective of whether they are navigating a difficult or beautiful season in their life. This journal is a space where people can start their day with intention, consciously placing themselves in the metaphorical "driver's seat" of their lives. It offers a platform for reflection, goal-setting, and a reminder that they have the power to steer their lives in a direction that aligns with their desires, values, and aspirations.
Ultimately, the "Driver's Seat Journal" is a tangible expression of resilience, hope, and the human spirit's ability to persevere and thrive, even in the face of adversity. It serves as a beacon of encouragement and a reminder that, regardless of life's challenges, individuals possess the strength to seize the day and drive their lives forward, one day at a time.
I'm rooting for you to make the choice to rise today and this is my expression of exactly that.
Always in your corner,
E
