Tips for a Fulfilling Journaling Practice
- Be Consistent: A disciplined action, repeated over time, becomes a habbit.
- Keep It Honest: Your journal is your truth, and the portal to your minda. Keep it true.
- Review Regularly: Go back over your words. See your progress, learn from the past.
- Stay Open: Let your thoughts wander. The best insights often come uninvited.
Be patient. Growth is slow, but it comes. Some days will be harder than others. Keep at it. Honor the small steps.
Use what helps. A notebook, an app (if you need one, we are your friend here), a tool that keeps you steady. If it works, use it. If it doesn't, leave it behind.
