You do not have to be a great writer or artist to enjoy the benefits of journaling. This creative form of expression can help us focus, reduce stress and leave a written legacy of inspiration.
Tips:
- Don’t feel as though you must journal every day. You do not want to become overwhelmed by something that should be fun and inspiring. Starting small is better than not starting at all. But remember, even a few words or an inspiring quote is a wonderful addition to your work.
- There is no right or wrong way to journal. Just let the creativity flow. If you are having trouble getting started or just need inspiration check our blog each week as we share tips and give you prompts to help stir your imagination.
- Set goals. There are many reasons to begin journaling. I use journaling as a way to share my faith and encouragement to future generations.
Ideas:
- inspirations
- quotes
- feelings, dreams, thoughts
- hopes, prayers
- gardening, nature, birds
- travel and exploration
- ideas
- simple day-to-day musings
- sketch, paint, color, collage
Have you thought about what you would like to do most in this life? Write a list (often called a “Bucket List”) of the things you would like to accomplish. If you have never created a record of such things, you might find it refreshing and insightful. I challenge you to try to accomplish the things that mean the most to you and begin to check off the items on your list!
