Travel with it, eat with it, sleep with it. Slap into it every stray thought that flutters up into your brain. Cheap paper is less perishable than gray matter. And lead pencil markings endure longer than memory. -Jack London A journal is an ideal environment in which to “become.” It is a perfect place for you to think, feel, discover, expand, remember, and dream.  -Brad Wilcox Write what should not be forgotten. -Isabelle Allende The act of writing is the act of discovering what you believe. -David Hare WHY WRITE: It gives us deep spiritual insight into the meaning and purpose of our lives. It is a voyage to our interior. It is a tangible expression of the breathings of our heart. THE JOURNALING PROCESS: There’s no right or wrong way to journal – but there are many options: Typing Blogging Word document Journal List writing Extensive storytelling Gratitude Prayer writing Mantras Other ideas >>> Do it before you get out of bed in the morning Put it next to your coffee maker Use an app Write on a calendar Create a journal jar QUESTIONS TO GET YOU STARTED: Create a #SmallWins section and track small wins Create a “swipe page” of brilliant ideas Create a list of your “life list” and break down goals Create lists > places you’ve enjoyed visiting, things you’ve done you never thought you could do, the people you most admire and what you’ve learned from them, your favorite books, your favorite movies, your favorite songs, your top five short term goals, your top five long term goals, the top five things that bring you happiness, what you need to do every day to make life “work best”, your favorite foods What are you biggest dreams?
