One of the ways we can enhance our overall well-being is to ensure things flow through and around us, that there is nothing blocking the flow that is helping us live our best lives now.
Journaling first thing in the morning, whenever your morning may be, is one way to clear the flotsam and jetsam that can interfere with your flow of abundance, of creativity, of drive.
Whether you just free write three pages, as recommended by Julia Cameron in her book The Artist's Way, or focus on one issue and write through it, or do a combination of both or choose your own method of journaling, writing things down helps us to center and focus on what is truly important at that moment in time in our lives.
It can also help us look at things from various angles, work through anger and pain, focus on the positive things in life (like the challenge I gave you in last week's post), or just focus our daily lens to see the things that are really important to get done or work on that particular day.
I journal nearly ever day, long hand, in pen, in a, well, journal - a bound book with lined pages that I usually get at Ross for about $4. On weekdays, it is more of clearing the flotsam and jetsam, acknowledging issues, worries and distractions, and focusing on the day ahead. When I make the time to journal on the weekends, I tend to focus on the bigger, more long-range picture of my life, where I want to go, what I want to do, what is helping me get there, what is hindering me, and how I can deal with the roadblocks to living my best life now.
However you wish to pursue journaling, I strongly encourage you to do it for at least 30 days. The insights you gain will be worth the time spent, and will help you to better live your best life right here, right now.
Other topics still to come this month are Harmony & Sync, and Balance.
Until next week, Namaste!
