Journaling is a great tool for any personal development! When you write you are creating a link between the pen and your psyche. Allowing you to feel emotion towards the words that you write, meaning the process has a bigger impact!
Here are 5 tips for journalling:
1. Just write...let it flow, anything thhat comes up. This is called stream of consciousness journalling, forget about grammer and punctuation and just concentrate on the thoughs that come up. It can help you make hard decisions, sort through the busy nature of everyday life, that can overflow into your subconscious mind.
2. Journal in a morning, studies show that doing this is more beneficial as your mind is not distracted by external factors in your day.
3. Put away your phone! Try not to have any distractions around you, this way you can ensure that what is coming through onto the paper are your deepest thoughts and not passing thoughts of day to day interactions.
4. Do it everyday! Make a habit out of journaling every day, whether that is making a gratitude list every morning or a list of goals and dreams, its important to be consistent,
5. Use journaliing prompts, such as " What am I worried about", "What are my beliefs around (blank)" , "What are my goals and ambitions". By using journal prompts you can help to draw out useful information about your thought processes. It can also help you get really clear on goal setting.
