A Blessing in Divorce

68: How to make Journaling one of your mindfulness practices this year


Listen Later

Journaling is recommended by just about every coach, therapist, counselor and I am no exception. But I am not talking about writing a diary like you might have as a little girl or teenager and this is not about your to do list either.

This is journaling for the purposes of healing, fostering inner growth and going on a self-discovery journey.

That’s why I created The Joy Journal (TJJ) and I am beyond excited to be able to share it with you here today along with everything else you need to know about how to get the most out of your journaling.

There really are only two steps to journaling:

  1. Buy a journal
  2. Start writing
  3.  

    First BUY A JOURNAL.

    And choose one that you want to write in. Whether it is a guided one or blank or is pretty or not - choose one that resonates with you.

    There are many reasons or benefits to starting a journaling practice:

    • Reducing anxiety
    • Lowering stress
    • Releasing painful thoughts and feelings like grief, sorrow and heart break.
    • It’s also a great way to get in touch with who we are and our core values
    • It’s a way to get to know yourself and 
    • A wonderful mindfulness practice
    • To name a few….
    • So this is why you buy a journal

      Second, START WRITING.

      Join me as I share several strategies and tools to help you get started writing in your journal daily.
