Your journal is yours and yours alone 

Journaling offers a wide variety of great benefits. Understanding them can help motivate you to get started. This healing outlet that is yours, and yours alone. It can help you become more mindful and aware of the present moment.

I am creating this series with the intention (and a sprinkle of encouragement) that you embrace a journaling practice specifically designed for self-growth, reflection, and to develop a greater connection to yourself. 

It can become your "Zen" place; your place of meditation or to boost your creativity. Your journal can be whatever you need it to be for your own life journey.

RELEASE PATTERNS AND DISCOVER CLARITY

So often, we find ourselves focused on all the thoughts whirling around in our heads or worrying about the future. Journaling can help:

  • ground you and increase your satisfaction in the moment,
  • increase your clarity and understanding of who you are and what you want,
  •  you release old patterns, stories, trauma, and places of resistance,
  •  bring you peace of mind and,
  • give you a clearer picture of your goals.

Writing your thoughts down can paint a picture and connect the dots on issues that have been bothering you. It can help you understand what you truly want while dissolving the expectations the world has placed on you.

Journaling can be an incredibly healing process

Writing down your feelings and processing past events in a tangible way helps many to forgive themselves or to let go of past trauma in order to move forward in a healthier way. It’s not easy, but it can be fulfilling and make a real difference in a person’s life.

These are just a few of the many amazing benefits journaling can bring.
