Do you journal?  If so, how do you journal?  What do you journal about?  Do you have a specific purpose and goal for your journaling?

 

In today’s episode, Kelly shares that she has always journaled her goals using Rachel Hollis’ Start Your Day journal, where you write 5 things you are grateful for, and then 10 goals written in present tense, as if it is already done/accomplished.  But just recently, Kelly was challenged to approach journaling in a very different way.

She was challenged to take some time and reflect back on all the “wins” (big and small) from 2023, and just start writing.  To allow the thoughts and feelings to come up, the roadblocks, the friends, the struggles, the things you accomplished ....but the magic happened when Kelly paused for a simple prayer, and then said to herself:  “ But if I am honest….”  and then she just let her pen start to move and the thoughts just poured out on the page, unfiltered.

 

Have you ever journalled like this?  There are several ways we can approach journaling:

• Goal setting and visualization

• Gratitude

• Process emotions and challenging circumstances

• Reflection on past accomplishments and struggles

• Recount daily activities

• And many more…..

 

The main message from today’s podcast is don’t be afraid to try a new way of journaling.  Allow your heart and pen to lead you and just start writing.  We think you are going to enjoy the discoverings and truths you will uncover!
