3 Journal Prompts to Wake Up Like Royalty

Your mornings called. They’re ready for a glow-up.

Oh hello my journaling friend!

This week’s journaling prompts are to get you to think of yourself as ROYALTY and up your morning routine! You’ll also find a printable worksheet you can use as your ROYAL DECREE 👑👑👑👑

Also: I’m going to start experimenting with sending you personal dispatches here in the paid community…it’s too hard to share my “real life” on Instagram. It really actually hurts when I lose followers because I’m getting a surgery or something people just don’t care about. So I’m thinking of using our community to just…well, be more real with you. Topics could include: how I’m thinking about my upcoming move, whatever happened to the boyfriend I mentioned months ago and then got shy about, all of the non-plastic products I’m bringing into my life - and anything else you want! What do you think?

And sorry - a little more news!

The retreat is just about sold out! 2 spots remain!

Wahoo! We will be journaling, laughing (because JEEZ DO WE NEED TO LAUGH!), and learning tools to rest in a BEAUTIFUL environment. Because you are a loyal GG subscriber, I’m extending the early bird through tonight (Sunday) so if you were on the fence, this is the last time to join and SAVE!

Will you join me in the hot springs?

On with le newsletter!

Learning how to treat yourself like royalty

In the big newsletter I wrote to you about the importance of a morning ritual and how I take inspiration from OG Lady Boss, Cleopatra.

I think taking time to yourself first thing in the morning is vital because when I rush through my morning, when I don't take those few extra minutes to really see myself, to honor myself, I show up to my day already depleted. I'm running on empty before I even begin. And that sucks.

When I take the time tho? Even just five minutes - to light a candle, to put on music that makes me feel powerful, to look myself in the eyes and remember who I am? I show up differently. I make decisions from a place of wholeness instead of scarcity.

And…Uhm…quiet frankly. The world needs us to show up whole rn. It needs us to remember our power so that we actually use it. And sometimes that starts with something as simple as the perfume (or cologne!) we choose to wear or the words we speak to ourselves in the mirror.

You deserve to feel like royalty. Not because of what you've accomplished or how others see you, but simply because you exist. You are worthy of your own kindness, especially - and most importantly - when no one else is watching.

So today we are going to get DREAMY AF about how we can honor ourselves like the QUEENS AND KINGS we are! I’ve conjured some journaling prompts to think of yourself as royalty and a ROYAL DECREE you could even print and fill in.

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: Your Royal Lineage

Grab your journal and really sit with this one...

Think about the people you admire most - whether historical figures, fictional characters, or people in your life.

• What is it about their energy that draws you to them?

• What specific qualities do they embody that you'd like to cultivate in yourself?

• Now here's the deeper question: Is it possible if you already possess these qualities but haven't given yourself permission to fully embody them?

JOURNAL PROMPT #2: Designing Your Sovereignty

This is where the magic happens...

If you were to design your own morning ritual - one that made you feel like absolute royalty - what would it include?

Don't think about what's "realistic" or "practical" right now. Dream big.

• What would you wear?

• What scents would surround you?

• What music would play?

• What words would you speak to yourself?

• What objects or talismans would you include?

• How would you move through your space?

Write out your ideal "getting ready like Cleopatra" ritual in vivid detail. Then identify THREE elements you could actually incorporate starting tomorrow morning.

JOURNAL PROMPT #3: The Resistance

Getting real about what stops us...

What comes up for you when you think about treating yourself like royalty? What internal voices or external pressures tell you this is "too much" or "not for people like you"?

Write down every objection your mind offers:

• "I don't have time for this..."

• "People will think I'm vain..."

• "This feels silly..."

• "I don't deserve this kind of attention..."

Now, next to each objection, write what you would tell your best friend if they said this to you. How would you challenge these limiting beliefs for someone you love?

Finally, complete this sentence: "If I truly believed I was worthy of royal treatment, I would..."

Your Sovereign Reminder

As our modern Cleopatra - Beyoncé - sings: "You wake up, flawless. Post up, flawless. Ride round in it, flawless."

She's not saying you need to meet some unattainable standard. She's saying you are already flawless, the whole of you, just as you are.

Look at yourself in the mirror, chant those words like an ancient prayer, and now go show the world your ferocious majesty.

Your Royal Decree

Here’s a worksheet you can print, fill in, and post somewhere you’ll see it and follow it!
