Journal #11: Instructions to your Body Double
Okay, imagine you are going out of town for a week to someplace fabulous. Imagine that you have hired a "body double" to live your life for you while you will be out of town. Write an instructional note to your body double explaining information they might need to know about being "you" for a week (how to deal with mother-in-law, how to avoid ex's phone calls, how to discipline the children, etc.) Write for 10 minutes.
