We all have our personal reasons for writing journals. Mine was to help me take a decision in my life that changed what I was and how I lived. That one journal entry gave me clarity of thought, which I lacked at that time because I was under deep depression. Writing down the pros and cons of my situation made me see things as they really were and plan for my future.
That day, I realized the importance of journal keeping.
After that, I could not stop. I was writing everyday, at different places, at different times. My amused colleague nicknamed me ‘journal girl’, a title that I found incredibly funny, but somewhat true.
But writing diary journals is one thing and writing a book on journal writing is another. Many difficult questions stood before me. Would journal prompts and ideas make readers pick up a paper or open their journal writing software, and begin writing? Or do journal books talk about journal to the self, psychology, and the healing power of journaling?
In Journal Writing Book, however, I wrote what worked for me, believing that it will work for you too. You can call it the journal of a soul, if you please, because I have shared in it more than journal writing ideas and prompts. First, we need to understand that journal writing is healing, that it is improves power of observation, that it helps us to take smart decision, and support us to get back on our feet when we fall. It does all of that and more only if we keep it as a companion. Journal writing is the simplest thing that you can ever do and gives you the most freedom that you will ever have.
You may use journal planners, daily journal writing prompts, journal kindle books, a journal of best practices, journal templates, etc. for motivation, organizing, etc. Or you can have nothing except a piece of paper and a pen, and that’s good enough for writing a journal entry. It’s brilliant as long as you are recording in your journal.
In this journaling endeavor, the most important thing is to begin writing journals, and then stick to it. Try any trick to make it happen. Do it today and do it tomorrow. You will be glad you began.
