Journaling is a powerful tool to help you achieve your dreams. You have the right to the best possible life you can lead! When you start journaling, you begin to take charge of your life, your plans and dreams.
Journaling is simply the act of writing. When you write down thoughts, it makes them real.
Our mind is so cluttered, full of thoughts and outside input. How can we believe that keeping our plans and dreams in that mix will actually make them happen?
For example, we can walk into a room and immediately forget why we went there.
So, let’s not trust our mind to be responsible to implement the vision and goals we have. A few benefits of journaling are to:
-1- Map out a dream
-2- Free your mind from replaying the same tape loops
-3- Solve problems
-4- Gain a different perspective on a issue
-5- Use a third party perspective to analyze a problem
-6- Separate statements which are emotional, rational, from reality
-7- Keep track of progress
-8- Self expression
-9- Brainstorm
-10- Tell stories
-11- Reveal your fears and doubts
-12- Acknowledge your success
To get started with your journal –
First, choose and decorate a journal, notebook, or tablet. Make it yours. Enter your name and date in it.
