Journal writing can be personal; it’s where you
put your inner most thoughts and dreams. It can be a place to enjoy favorite
quotes from inspirational authors, the bible, songs, etc. Multiple thoughts
ramble around in our heads, and some of us need to put it down on paper. That
way those thought don’t feel like they keep knocking at the side of our ears as
a reminder.
Some to-do lists can get pretty long, and
having a place to put them, along with the satisfaction of being able to cross
them off—sublime!
It’s easy, and very effective. It helps cope
with anxiety, and writing relieves the feelings of stress. It can help to
follow through on recovery, and clear the mind.
Of course, having a really cute notebook that
shows your personality is a plus. Writing is a great way to express yourself in
a personal place.
How do you start a journal?
First things first…don’t worry about your
spelling, or grammar. Who cares? It’s for you. If you want to fix it, fix it,
if not. Bah, don’t worry about it!
Just write and let the words flow the way you
want it to. No need for perfection. If you need to do it on a schedule, go for
it. If you want to write random notes to yourself throughout the day, do it.
It’s yours to do as you wish.
If you relax better in the morning with coffee,
then do it at that time. If you prefer the evenings, then that’s for you. Pick
a spot where you are most comfortable.
If you need it to be more scheduled, pick a
time of day, and preferred days of the week and that’s when you take the time
to reflect and write, as you want, at the pace you want. Make it a part of your
agenda, something you can look forward to each day or week.
Once you start writing, give yourself up to any
distractions and focus on what you want to write. Don’t get upset if ‘life’
interrupts you. Just focus when you need to.
So grab yourself a cute journal and write away!
And, they make awesome gifts, too.
