The power of Journaling
Journaling in the easiest and most powerful way you can write down memories and experiences as well as tell the story of your future reality.
Memories are important for self reflection and learning from the past as well as bringing up stored emotions for release and renewal. Your past experiences lead you to where you are today and this is imperative for you to review your life and appreciate what went before. Good and bad. You cannot grow if you don’t already know – and ‘knowing’ is from your previous experience.
If you have ever consulted a mental health professional then you may have recognised that journaling is of the most recommended avenues in self improvement when it comes to having a clearer mind and happier life.
Here are some key things to include in your journaling routine:
Expressing gratitude is a very powerful tool when it is applied consciously. Most of the time people are complaining about ‘stuff’ that they can easily change or influence in their daily lives, however, they don’t even realise what they have and how much they can actually be thankful for. If you take some time every day to think about your blessings you will reminded of how fortunate you are in comparison to so many others. Simply consider the simple things in life…where you live, your job, your friends and interests. Be grateful for all the small blessings and they soon will become large blessings for you to springboard to inner happiness and peace.
When journaling about gratitude, list 5 things every day and you will soon notice your perceptions and your outer world changing.
Constant learning is the key to personal growth and self development. By the continuous art of learning, you remain ‘alive’ and often seek the best in yourself. Every day practise the art of being ‘present’. This enables you to feel into the present moment and experience the beauty of really being a participant in your day to day living. Learning something every day keeps you youthful, vibrant and interesting. Not to mention how important it is for our brain cells!
Our emotions and feelings drive us to do the things we do. Negative and positive. Understanding the depth of your emotions can be an extremely powerful tool. It regulates a sense of self- control and observation of triggers that influence your behaviours. Emotional healing is incredibly powerful in the transformation process, in order to release past hurts and traumas and to forgive the perceived bullies and perpetrators that have shaped your life to this day.
Above all, journaling is best used to describe your future reality as if it has already occurred. Attracting your dreams into your life is easy if you spend time in the alpha brainwave state and assist the process by writing down your wishes in detail. The past, present and future all exist simultaneously right? So journal your future now and draw it into your current reality.
Pronto!
