Keeping a journal is a technique
that can help you make
improvements in your life. To
some people, the ability to keep a
journal comes natural, while
others struggle with it.
Whether you keep a consistent daily
journal, an occasional journal, or simply jot
notes to yourself when ideas come to you,
this technique can have powerful
implications in helping you attain your
goals.
Making Things Happen
Putting your goals, thoughts, hopes,
and dreams on paper can help you
actualize what matters to you most.
Bring your goals and dreams to life by
writing them down. Read them as
often as you can to focus your mind
on living the life you desire.
1. Write quickly and passionately.
Let the ideas flow onto the paper
without dwelling on one thing for too
long. Writing in this manner will allow
your goals, dreams and wishes to
flow out freely beyond what you
thought possible!
• Try setting a time goal and
writing freely without pause until the
period ends. Once you're finished,
you may be surprised with what
you've written and gain new insight
and understanding from this activity.
2. Write consistently. You may not
be an everyday writer, but formulate a
routine to keep your journal flowing.
When you write on a daily or weekly
basis, you'll find a greater consistency
to your thoughts and reflections.
3. Set goals and reflect on them.
Outline your most important self-
improvement goals when you begin
your journaling experience. Reflect on
them often to determine whether or
not you're taking active steps toward
achieving them.
4. Be honest.
You can be completely honest in your
journal because no one else will read it but
you. Share your secrets, dreams, and
desires - even the ones you cannot share
with anyone else. Use your journal as a
sounding board, and never sacrifice
honesty for any reason.
5. Ask yourself tough questions.
Self-reflection is an important aspect of
self-improvement, and your journal can aid
significantly in the reflection process.
Ask yourself questions about where you're
at in life and where you want to be so you
can brainstorm the necessary steps in the
self-improvement process.
6. Refer back to your past writing
regularly.
When you have a bad day, look at
your positive writing to ease your
thoughts.
When you feel lost or unsure about
yourself, look back over your goals
and insights to find guidance.
• There's a wealth of vital
information in your journal if you use it
consistently, and you can turn back to
this information to show you where to
go next.
7. Choose a journal that's right for
you. Select a journal that resonates
within you, something that you feel
comfortable and confident writing in.
You can purchase a journal from a
bookstore, create your own, or simply
collect loose pages in a binder. The
right journal will inspire you to use it.
Simply putting your thoughts down on
paper can help you realize your dreams
and focus your attention on what truly
matters in your life. Strive to write in your
journal as often as you need, and refer
back to what you write to help you keep
those goals in mind. Journaling is a
powerful tool, but is only effective when
you're willing to put your passion into it
Choose Journals that Work. That make you Happy. Then USE them!
