​~ Buddha

Book Overview​

The Let Yourself BE Journal is a 30 day journaling challenge to give you a space to step into your strengths. 

A space where you can take time each day to reflect, practice and recollect on what BEing is for you.  To uncover that strengths based version of you and play around with what that looks like, sounds like and feels like - for 30 days!

Improve every area of your life through the powerful state of BEing. ​#letyourselfbe

​In a world that prioritizes full inboxes and hectic schedules, this endemic of stress is seen as a sign of success. Stress has been normalized and has us disconnected from the body’s wisdom, "stuck in the mind"—a huge tragedy for the health and flourishing of humanity now and into the future.

What you know and what you do is not where your true value comes from.

When KNOWing and DOing are the drivers of your behaviours and actions, you are acting from a place of limiting beliefs. These limiting beliefs further create limiting thoughts and lead to acting in ways out of tune with your authentic self.

​I believe in the philosophy of Ubuntu—I am because we are. Only when you look after your state of BEing and wellness, can you truly connect to others in a more profound, more meaningful way.

This is what the Let Yourself BE journal was designed for—to guide you toward your whole and most genuine version of you so you can connect with the wholeness of another.

Play With Your Strengths
We are both light and dark. Yin and Yang.
Just as the moon needs the sun to shine we also need to shine our light on our strengths and illuminate the authentic self. This journal invites you to play with the idea that you are most enlightened when experiencing yourself from a place of strength. To have belief in your strengths is to give you the courage to embrace your dark.

Experience Body Wisdom

We are hardwired as humans to experience our negative emotions more frequently and intensely than our positive emotions. This negativity bias shows up in how we see ourselves and can create limiting responses to your life experience. This journal holds the space inside each page to see yourself against the backdrop of the VIA Character Strengths.  When you choose to see yourself in your strengths, you can then embody the sensations of your light and develop a deeper body-wisdom and awareness.

Creative Mindfulness

You will notice that woven into several pages are designs that you can colour to bring about a deeper state of reflection. The act of colouring is a meditative and soothing movement. Use these artful moments to reflect on how you want to BE and how you’ve been through each day.
“There will be an answer. Let it be.”
​~ The Beatles

How It Works

The Let Yourself BE Journal is a 30 Day Challenge using the VIA Character Strengths. The VIA framework includes 6 virtues and 24 strengths. Each virtue or strength will guide the daily activities so that you can practice BEing in your strengths and become the most integrated and aligned version of yourself.

​You will notice that woven into several pages are designs that you can colour to bring about a deeper state of reflection. The act of colouring is a meditative and soothing movement. Use these artful moments to reflect on how you want to be and how you’ve been through each day.
Two times each day, a Morning Reflection and an Evening Recollection, steal a few moments and feel what it’s like to BE in your Strength.
​
​There are three questions for the Morning Reflection and three in the Evening Recollection. These daily moments are framed around a virtue or character strength that you choose to practice BEing that day.  Steal 5 - 10 minutes each day to work with the questions. 
​
Use the questions in the morning reflection to set your awareness for how you want to BE in that strength for the day. Use the questions in the evening recollection to note the insights gained from practicing BEing in that strength.
Step 1: Select a Virtue or a Character Strength for the day. (Note: Descriptions are within each section; you can follow the journal chronologically or randomly select a strength in the moment).

​Step 2: Initiate the Morning Reflection by answering the three questions of each strength. Take 5-10 minutes each morning to write down your awareness for the day in the spaces provided.
​
Step 3: Initiate the Evening Recollection by answering the three questions of each strength. Take 5-10 minutes each evening to write down your awareness from the day in the spaces provided.

Step 4: Integrate through reflection and action and take the day's learnings to embody how you feel and think about BEing yourself. Colour in the pages.
​
​Step 5: Store the thoughts and beliefs that emerged from each reflection and recollection. Use this stored memory to create a new belief about yourself. Colour in the pages.

What People Are Saying

What a wonderful way to start and end my day! This journal encourages deeply personal self-reflection by inviting us to sit with our values. The act of routinely setting aside time to check in with oneself is a necessary one. For those of us who struggle to honour our inner voice, this journal provides a tangible and appealing opportunity to turn inward. Thank you for creating such an accessible and valuable tool for self-improvement!​
~ Erica B.
My coaches and peers kept telling me to start journaling--they all seem to be doing it—but, I found it so hard. I'd look at the blank page and wonder: Where to start? What to write?
​When I discovered the Let Yourself BE journal, I knew it was for me. Not only does it guide me on what to write and helps me better understand myself, it also satisfies my creative side—the doodler. I love the ability to colour while I'm thinking.
​I now recommend it to my coaches and peers!

“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
​~ Mahatma Gandhi
Ophealia Grace is not a person. OG is a collective state of being that lives within us all.

The well of healing is within us. The path to abundance is laid out before us. The warmth of acceptance is wrapped around us. 

​Ophealia Grace (OG) is the thriving and flourishing that allows you to walk your path of abundance. Drink from your healing well. Be still with the acceptance that you are glorious and divine in all that you are in this moment.

Ophealia Grace touches us all when you become aware of the whole and purest version of yourself. There is no need to seek out this person. They are closer than you think. They just need permission to emerge and BE all that they can be.
