Keeping A Journal

A Practice

I’ve written before on keeping a journal. Probably more than once, and I highly doubt that this will be the last time that I do.

To me, journaling is such an important practice. It gives you a space to spill out your thoughts on to the page. It doesn’t answer back, or judge you.

If you’ve read my past posts, you will know that I have kept a journal since I was about eleven. I don’t think I could cope without it now.

PERSEVERE

The thing is that when you start, it can seem like a bit of a chore, but as you persevere with the practice of writing every day without fail, you will build a habit, that will, given time, become essential to your mental wellbeing.

I am not going to say that I don’t miss days sometimes, I do, but at the same time, the days that I do write are more than the days where I don’t.

SO MANY TYPES

There are so many ways in which you can journal, and I try to incorporate these into the pages of my journal.

I thought I’d list some of them here:

· Prayer

· Gratitude

· Reading Log

· Writing Log

· Lists
