I so agree with this, Magdalena! We can write our future. We can also speak it into existence by asking ourself well-crafted why questions.

Our subconscious is the perfect recorder. It's just a lousy playback system.

So write more of what you desire in the present tense.

I created a writing exercise that works in magical ways by writing news stories about yourself in the future.

Dear Donna: I'm so happy that it resonates with you! I love your quote: "So write more of what you desire in the present tense." so true!!! You are truly magical!

You're awake too, Magdalena! So glad to cross paths again. I also love the pen-to-paper process.

I'm also seeking permission from higher self to release the boxes of filled journals.

I am releasing that which no longer serves me.

I have yet to pick a word for 2026, so now I'm decorating RELEASE is this year's word.

Thank you for being my muse 🤗

Awww! I love being your muse! (lol) and the word RELEASE is a fantastic one on so many levels!

Dr Donna Blevins's avatar

Glad to be seen and appreciated 🤗

RELEASE it is!

I couldn't agree more, Magdalena. And I talk about this in my recent post about Boundaries. When you stop putting yourself second, everything shifts. Blue💙

Freedom is the word that comes to mind - and also power, courage and authenticity. x

Wow. What you said surprised me. I knew it all along but couldn't articulate right. I have used affirmations sticking them on my wall but have done nothing. It is only when I have described experiences on my journal and derived the wisdom from them that things have changed.

Your exercise is a game changer and I'm thinking to use it often since I have my own challenges. I would like to take attend your webinar if you could help me with at least one.

Every time I leave Instagram, I feel dirty. And then I enter this lovely world of Substack and I find amazing gems like this and my hope in humanity is restored. Love this so much. I’m rereading it! Glad I found you!

Hello Magdalena, I’m not sure why but it’s asking me to pay for a subscription, when I’ve already paid. I can access it from my iPhone, but not my iPad for some reason.

Kat Kim's avatar

Thank you ☺️ excited to be part of the community.

Magdalena Ponurska's avatar

In March I'm thinking about doing the workshop early in the morning (EST time) so other time zones can join - given that March is about money and prosperity :-)

Kat Kim's avatar

I am 10000% there! 😍😍 Please let us know so I can lock it into my calendar.

Magdalena Ponurska's avatar

Kat Kim's avatar

Magdalena Ponurska's avatar

Awww! You've made my day! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!

Jean Hendry's avatar

Magdalena, your posts stop me in my tracks. You've expressed my knowing but in much better words. I'd love to do the workshop next weekend but have another commitment at the same time. Are they recorded or is there another way to catch up later?

Linda's avatar

Hi 😊 the workshop sounds lovely and I am a paid member. How do I register for free ?

Magdalena Ponurska's avatar

Dear Linda: sending you DM with a link to register. Looking forward to seeing you at the workshop!

Lisa Greene's avatar

Hi Magdalena, I would also love to attend but seem to be missing how to sign up as a paid subscriber. Could you send me the link or point me in the direction? Thank you!

Magdalena Ponurska's avatar

Hi Lisa - just send it to you! Welcome and can't wait to see you next Saturday!

Rosemary's avatar

I love those ideas about micro-actions. Shows it is doable and you don't have to do it all at once - just keep taking small steps in the right direction.

Magdalena Ponurska's avatar

Small steps in the right direction makes all the difference, totally agree with you Rosemary!

This post made me think a lot. By improving the relationship with myself, I can improve every relationship.

Saturday will be a tight schedule, I swear. But I will do my best to participate.

Magdalena Ponurska's avatar

I’m so glad Fernando! Hope you can make it on Saturday!
