April 2018ex | EXplore wrap-up

It’s May, It’s May!

Have you been following along & documenting your own 2018ex journey? Wondering what I’m talking about? Click HERE to learn all about Heidi’s year-long creative project.

April’s “ex” word…EXPLORE…was all about taking in the world around you…having fun just for the fun of it…choosing the road less traveled (both literally & figuratively), and letting yourself try things you’ve been wanting to try – just because.

At the beginning of the month, I was super on-board and gung ho – ready to document all of April’s adventures and explorations.

I printed out and filled in the month’s free printable…

I set up my initial pages (I love having all of Heidi’s inspirational info handy so I can refer to it often)…

…and I even documented a few days.

And then life started happening…super fast.

And I stopped documenting.

I did nothing else in this journal for the entire rest of the month.

And I’m so frustrated with myself for that.

BUT! I’m forgiving myself…and I’m moving on.

I’m really excited for May’s word and all of the new thoughts & ideas that are sure to come with it…but I’m not forgetting about April (or February, or March for that matter!).

Part of what I love about 2018ex is that each new monthly focus builds on the one before it…and I’m trying to keep them all in mind while I go about my days.

Plus, I don’t have to follow a set outline. I can choose what and when to document…this is my journey.

And, I’m really happy with how I’ve done so far..even if I wasn’t as diligent as I would have hoped I’d be last month.

I hope I’ve inspired you to begin your own 2018ex journey!

It’s never too late to start…just begin right where you are…and don’t beat yourself up if you don’t “keep up” – just keep chugging along.
