Journaling

Journaling

Journaling is something a lot of people seem to be doing right now. Im sure a lot of you, especially us ladies, wrote diaries when we were younger so journaling is more of a grown up version of it. The idea is to keep things positive, so when you wake up grab your journal and write down things you are grateful for, i.e your first cup of tea in the morning, your comfy bed that allowed you to have a good nights sleep, the birds singing. This then sets your mind up in a positive way before you even get up. Its good for gaining self confidence, reducing stress and anxiety, can help you track your progress, Its also good to get things down so that they are no longer in your head. at the end of the day write down all the little things that happened through your day like the person in the street that smiled at you, the colour of the leaves on the trees, it really makes you start looking at the world differently. There are loads of different journals on the market now the ones I use are by Clever Fox you can buy them on Amazon uk. They are good because they give you prompts if you are struggling to think what to write, and they ask different questions each day, then at the end of each week it has some exercises to complete. They also have fun little stickers in the back. If you don't want to go to the expense of a journal like this just get a note book. Its all about getting things down, making a note of how you are feeling each day, being as positive as possible and starting & ending your day with gratitude. So give it a go you never know where it may take you, it may inspire you to start your own blogs like it has me or even to write a book. Enjoy the journey, Much Love Jo x
