The Well-Tended Life
Episode 51: Cultivating Your Legacy with Merle Saferstein
Why Listen? In my journal practice, I write down what I call “heart taps”, which are the things that speak directly to my heart. Here are a few of the heart tap moments that I wrote down from this interview:
- One of the biggest gifts is a face to face conversation.
- What questions do you need to ask yourself before you enter this next season?
- Who you are is NOT WHAT YOU DO!
- How you live your life becomes your legacy.
- You legacy is less about the stuff you leave behind.
- When you look back in your journals, you notice patterns and themes.
- Journaling allows you the time and space to take the negatives and turn them into positives.
- When you put things on paper, it give those thoughts a home when they can be dealt with.
- Journaling is a gift to ourselves.
- Consider creating an ethical Will or a starting a Legacy Journal today.
- If we don’t take care of ourselves, we can’t take care of others.
