Journaling

It would be great if we can remember what we were doing or thinking a week ago. It would be even better if we could remember six months ago. The truth is, there is just too much going on in our lives to remember what we had for dinner last night. But, knowing these events in our lives can help us to grow, and there’s no better way to do that than via journaling.

Journaling is such an important part of life and success that you should do it daily.

Journal Your Way to Self-Worth

By Linda on June 23, 2022

Journaling is a fantastic way to build your self-worth and that is why you need to learn how you too can Journal Your Way to Self-Worth.

Rather want to watch Journal Your Way to Self-Worth?

If you’re someone who rather likes to watch a video than read an article, here is the article in video form:

Busy and would rather listen to Journal Your Way to Self-Worth?

I’ve got you covered too, here is the audio delivered by Justin. Enjoy!

Let’s move on with Journal Your Way to Self-Worth

It’s a well-established practice in therapy and psychology, and it works equally well for children and adults. Journaling can be art or writing or a collage or a combination of whatever feels right for you.

There is a range of prompts to help you get over the fear of the blank page or to help you get over those ‘um, I don’t know’ moments. This article provides a few suggestions, but once you get into the swing of journaling, the ideas will flow!

How to make it easier

You can make it easier to break-through the ‘bashful barrier’ if you find it hard to find positive things to say – you can start at the back of the journal and work forward, write in a spiral or turn your book sideways or upside-down.

Your Happiest Memories

Write in your happiest memories and include photos of parties, holidays and loved ones. You can make timelines of the best days in your life that make you feel proud of yourself, like graduation, your first job, your first solo car trip. Work over multiple or fold-out pages, make double-spreads, include photos as well.

I love MyMemories Scrapbooking software. If you don’t know it, click here to check it out and if you use Code: STMMMS7463 you save $10.

Use Affirmations

You can use affirmations to remind yourself of your positive traits, for example
I am kind
I am good at…
People really like my…
I’m proud I can…
I am loved by…
I feel good when…

Find Three Things Your Inner Critic Finds Fault With

Think of three things your Inner Critic finds fault with and consciously turn them around – write down the positive in your journal. You can use your journal as a way of visualizing your goals – what do you want to achieve, feel or do today, this week, by Christmas?

Make Your Journal Beautiful

You can also make your journal a beautiful object – go to an art store and buy your favorite colors in a range of media – pencils, watercolors, collage papers, stamps.

Use glitter, stickers, puff paints – you can go wild and treat your inner child. Your book about you will reflect all the colors within.

Or maybe you’d prefer something more minimalist – make your journal a thing of monochrome beauty, use lovely rich Japanese inks, textured papers, graphite. Experiment with pens, pencils, and brushes – see how many different lines you can make.

Or use MyMemories for a beautiful digital journal. (remember to use code: STMMMS7463 for $10 discount)

Conclusion To Journal Your Way to Self-Worth

Make journaling a happy activity. Something that you enjoy working on and reading. And then when you do have times when you’re not feeling so good about yourself, you have a tangible object to look at to defeat your Inner Critic

Journaling Tips

By Linda on August 31, 2021

Home » Shop » Journaling

This post includes powerful tips related to journaling for self-growth.

It also includes 3 actionable steps you can take right away and a list of suggested readings for those people who are looking for even more information.

Top Journaling Tips

1) Reduce Mistakes

There is no way to eliminate mistakes. However, recalling what mistakes you did make and what you did about them can go a long way in helping you to reduce those mistakes. Write down your personal and professional events in a journal so that you can recall them in the future.

2) Learn

Probably the biggest benefit from journaling is what you learn about yourself. When you read back your challenges and accomplishments, you can recognize areas where you need to focus on, and you can take pride in your achievements. You can still do all this without a journal, but most people forget much of what they have done and why they did it.

3) Help Others

When you start to grow, you can help others do the same. Journaling can be your source for inspiration to help others. You can even use passages to show the people you help. You do want to let them write their own journals, however. Still, showing what you have created from time-to-time can be great inspiration for them.

4) More Than Just Words

Journaling can be done with a notebook and pen. However, by using a computerized version, you can tie in graphics, videos, audios, and other media types. You are limited only by your imagination. The more of these types of media you incorporate, the better. Besides, it can be a lot of fun to produce a journal in this fashion. You can choose to print out hard copies and store them in a notebook if you’d like.

5) Let The Format Evolve

At the current time, there is no journaling police that will come and take you away if your format is not correct. There is no correct format. Just start creating, and the format will start to evolve as you develop it. You will notice what works and scrap what doesn’t. Don’t restrict yourself. Just create and then make changes as you progress.

6) Revisit Your Journal

While there is some value in simply recording to your journal, you’ll get more out of it if you review what you have created from time-to-time. This will give insight into where you were at that moment in your life.

7) Measure Your Progress

When you revisit your journal, make comparisons about where you were previously to where you are now. Are you happy with the progress? If not, what is it that is holding you back? Look for clues in your journal and construct ways to get where you want to be. Sometimes, it can be small changes that make big differences later on.

Actionable Steps for Journaling Tips

Participate in a journal swap. Although this is an unofficial title, you could swap your journal with others. People can get stuck thinking in the same fashion they always have and seeing others’ perspectives can open your mind and your world. You could swap virtually or find meetings where people would be willing to do this.

Find journaling prompts. You can use the journaling prompts to inspire you for your own journal. Do a search online as there are frequent updates. Click here for one example

Journal with your significant other/best friend. Consider keeping a shared journal with your significant other/best friend. Our lives can get so busy that we often can get disconnected. Journaling can be a great way to keep connected.
