Sometimes we attempt to rationalize our situation only to find ourselves in a state of confusion. Perhaps we can’t turn off the thinking because something is bothering us. There’s an explanation for why we can’t reduce the volume of our mind chatter. It’s time to examine why we are experiencing this. Maybe there are unresolved issues, unsettled conversations, and unfinished business. Perhaps we let something go only to discover we want it back. Maybe we let something return only to realize we no longer want it. It’s time to journal our way to the answers.
THE JOURNAL WILL HELP PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE
Valuable assistance can be garnered through the written word. By documenting our emotions, feelings, and thoughts we can tap into the solutions. The thoughts captured on paper will guide us as it exposes the answers. Everything we need to know we already know. We have the solution; however, for whatever reason, we refuse to own up to it. The story in the journal helps us identify with who we are, what we want, and what we don’t. We express ourselves differently in writing than we would with conversation. The reason for this is the journal remains silent; it doesn’t impart judgment, opinion or viewpoint. We don’t get lost in someone else’s life but our own. While our journal remains quiet and accepting, our hearts move the pen with ink freely flowing, through the process we take solace.
A CONFIDANT WHO SILENTLY HELPS US DISCOVER
We relay details of our thoughts, while the journal acts as a personal confidant, one in which we share everything. Eventually, we review what we wrote and receive a clear message emerging from the pages. The record of our deepest inner feelings, emotions, desires, and issues reveal something important. It helps us pinpoint the problems and troubles we bear. We discover the why something happened behind what happened. It’s through the words we conveyed and thoughtfully recorded that brings about clarity.
I write in a journal daily. This extraordinary ritual has revolutionized my mindset, transformed my heartset, and generally influenced my life exponentially.
When we go back over the months of entries, we discover what we never knew. Perhaps we have known all along but were just too afraid to admit it. We realize the answers to some of our pertinent questions. There in the middle of the page, between the lines rests the answer. We have all the answers we need and we don’t have far to go. We just have to search within, within our heart, within the pages of our journal.
A JOURNAL IMPARTS INVALUABLE INFORMATION
Whether using a diary or a journal it doesn’t matter as long as there’s a fresh blank page where you can jot down your inner dialogue. Locate a quiet space where you can meditate and reflect. Focus on hope and concerns fade from your mind onto the page that rests before you. Relax with pen in hand and write what comes to mind. Only you and your little notebook will know what settled within your heart, within your soul. It’s time to express what’s really going on around you, all those things that occupy the mind. Trust it will reveal what you need to know. Your journal is a special journey to discovering the most valuable you… the authentic you.
