In this journal entry I share the gentle shift that is helping me to move through anger at a situation I can't control. It starts with accepting reality, so I can find my inner peace again.

If you are an INFP and/or a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) who struggles to move through intense, painful anger, please know you are not alone. If you are a sensitive soul tired of fighting what is, I share my gentle way to process anger, and use it as a guide for personal growth.

Let’s hold space for the difficult emotion, process it tenderly, and find inner harmony and self-acceptance.

Dear soul, if you’ve missed a day, you are not alone. 80% of people have already quit their big goals, proving the "all or nothing" approach to habit building doesn’t work. In this journal entry we will explore how to "Un-Quit" your resolution by shifting your mindset to focus on identity instead of unreachable targets. True transformation isn't about achieving the goal (i.e. losing 10 lbs) but consistently choosing the identity (i.e. being a healthy person).

You will learn how to permanently “pick it back up” with three powerful steps:

• Self-Compassion: Immediately stop the cycle of self-judgment when you miss a day.
• The 1% Rule: Choose the tiniest daily action that is non-negotiable, this guarantees success.
• Build Self-Trust: Master the art of showing up so you can gradually scale your actions until you become the writer, the healthy person, or the focused individual you want to be.

Start small, be consistent, and keep your dream from being left in the dust.

✨Dear soul, I'd love to cheer you on in the comments! What is the absolute tiniest action you are going to commit to, so you can build trust in yourself, and become the person you want to become?

If you find yourself stuck in the pattern of self-judgment after quitting, watch my video Negative Thought Loops Are Waste of Time and What to Do Instead (https://youtu.be/rGKP0nJSPiA) for a deeper guide on breaking those destructive mental habits.

XOXO,
Kate Harmony

Dear soul, this journal entry offers you the permission to break up with toxic relationships and incompatible family members who diminish your sensitive soul's light. I ask us to look at the uncomfortable truth that sometimes choosing loneliness is the better option.

For the idealist, it is painful when you show up with your whole heart and unique gifts, only to have them rejected or minimized. This video explores the journey of realizing that sometimes, people are just incompatible—and that’s okay.

I talk about:

• The crucial difference between setting boundaries within healthy relationships and choosing to emotionally and physically disconnect from unhealthy relationships.
• Using MBTI personality typology as a tool for understanding relational incompatibility.
• Why trying to fill a hole of loneliness with mismatched people only leads to more heartache.
• The final, liberating step of freeing yourself from the relationships that weigh you down so you can focus on sharing your gifts with the world.

This journal entry will help you to reflect on your relationships and encourage you to choose self-worth and self-reliance over endless heartache.

Now that you have given yourself permission to choose quiet healing over constant hurt, learn how to embrace and constructively use that solitary time with this gentle suggestion: Lonely? Read a book like this... (video/oN4pqCbRadQ).

XOXO,
Kate Harmony
