You can't think your way back to yourself.

Sacred Stickies is a two-minute receiving practice.
A sticky note, pen, breath, one question, that quiets the noise long enough for you to hear yourself again.

Your mind has been running the show for so long, you've forgotten what it feels like to just. Stop.

Not to fix anything. Not to figure anything out. Just to pause long enough to hear what's already there.

This is that pause.

What You’ll Need:

  • One sticky note

  • One piece of paper or old journal

  • One pen

HERE'S HOW TO DO YOUR FIRST SACRED STICKIE:

1. PAUSE. CONNECT TO YOUR BREATH.

Hand on your heart. Eyes closed if that feels right.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Don't worry about doing it right. Just breathe.

2. PLACE THE STICKY NOTE ON YOUR PAPER.

Put the sticky note on top of your paper or journal page.

3. DRAW A LINE ACROSS THE STICKY NOTE.

Pick up your pen. Draw one horizontal line across the sticky note.

Then another. And another.

Repeat the line as you breathe in and out. Let your hand move. Let your mind slow down.

Keep going until something in your body settles. You'll feel it.


4. ASK ONE QUESTION. WRITE IT UNDERNEATH THE STICKY.

When you're ready, ask: God, what do I need to know right now?

(If "God" doesn't resonate, try Spirit, Source, your highest self — whatever feels true.)

Write the question underneath the sticky note on your paper.

5. WRITE WHAT COMES.

Underneath the question, start writing. Whatever surfaces…words, phrases, images, fragments.

Don't judge it.

Don't make it make sense.

Just let it come.

Keep going until it slows down on its own. It will.


6. REFLECT

Read back what you wrote.

What's the one word or phrase that stands out? The one that lands?

Circle it. Or highlight it.

Then write that word or phrase on the sticky note.


7. KEEP THE STICKIE SOMEWHERE YOU'LL SEE IT.

Peel the sticky off the page. Put it on your planner, your mirror, your laptop, the fridge.

Somewhere it can remind you: you heard yourself today.

The paper underneath stays in your journal. The Stickie travels with you.


WHAT JUST HAPPENED:

You didn't think your way to that answer. You didn't force it or figure it out.

You got quiet. You asked. And something came through.

That's not random. That's not your imagination.

That's you hearing yourself again.

That's God moving through you.

And you can do this anytime…kitchen counter, car line, or 4am when you can't sleep.


SHARE YOUR STICKIE:

I'd love to see what came through for you.

Every Stickie you do is one thread back to yourself.

Keep going.
