Happy 2018!

Something that I have found challenging to keep up on a daily basis is to journal.  I have so many brand new journals and perfect pens to write with…yet I just don’t find the time to sit and start.  Anyone else have this challenge too?  Where do I start?  What do I write about?  Why is it that when I go to write, I have complete amnesia?  Can you relate?

Well, I have found an excellent solution to my own writer’s block and I think this will be helpful to others reading this post!  You can find online many different types of guided journals or even lists of writing ideas.  Ideas on how we feel, think, act, or react to different situations in life.  Ideas on health, fitness, relationships, families, and goals for the future.  I personally think this is a great way to get started in the practice of writing.  It is also a great way for us to become more focused and reflective on self in ways we never thought about.

I’ve decided to put up a few journal ideas that I really like and maybe you will find helpful too.

• Make a list of 25 things that make you smile
• If my body could speak, it would say…
• Make a list of all the things you would like to say “no” to.
• What does unconditional love look like to you?
• What is the dominant emotion in your life right now?
• Write a letter to someone you want to forgive.
• How would you like to make this world a better place?
• Write about something or a few new things that you would like to learn about.
• What would make you feel fulfilled spiritually?
• Write a list of regrets and how you may be able to change them.

These are just a few ideas to get your started.

Happy writing!
