In all reality, the only “rule” is that you begin! Make each new journal “your own.” When you purchase a new journal, write something special on the inside cover. Tape nice cards on random pages. “Introduce” the journal with a brief note or letter to yourself … is there anything special you want to learn from your writing? Appreciate your journal writing time ... it is a gift of health. Allow yourself to see journaling as a special time of releasing; a time just for you to “say” all that you want. Record an event, write about a feeling, explore something special that has changed your life. Five minutes of journal writing is amazingly rewarding and refreshing for the spirit. Date your entries. Although this is not a “rule,” it is a suggestion for more satisfying journal writing. As you review your journal, you’ll come across information, thoughts and feelings that are significant. Though you believe “I’ll remember when that happened,” time frames get lost in the shuffle of daily life. A quick notation of the date provides a framework for the life you’ve been living. Keep a List of “Writing Prompts” Most often when we journal, we are able to think of situations, feelings, or circumstances that are forefront in our thoughts. Sometimes, however, we might feel “stuck.” When this happens, we can benefit from prompts. It is helpful to keep such lists handy for those times when the words just won’t come. Sentence Stems
