What are the rules of journaling?


Listen Later

Just give these five simple steps a shot. You are going to be writing!

What is it that you wish to write about, exactly? Just what is going on here? How do you feel? What exactly are you ruminating on right now? What exactly do you need? Name it.

R - Either go over it again or think about it. Close your eyes. Please take three long, slow breaths. Focus. You might begin by saying "I feel..." or "I desire..." or "I think..." or you could say "Today..." or "Right now..." or "In this moment..." as a starting point.

I - Look into what you are thinking and how you are feeling. Start writing right away, and don't stop. Keep up with the pen or the keyboard. If you find yourself unable to move on or you simply run out of energy, try closing your eyes and re-centering yourself. Continue to write while you read over what you've already written and then continue.

T - Keep track of the time. Take between 5 and 15 minutes to write. At the top of the page, write the time that you began, as well as the estimated time that you will finish. If your personal digital assistant (PDA) or mobile phone has an alarm or a timer, you should set it.

E – Leave like a pro by reading what you've written again and providing a brief reaction to it in the form of a couple of sentences, such as "As I read this, I notice—" or "I'm aware of—" or "I feel—". Take note of any action steps that need to be taken.
