Writing to hear.....

I decided since I have felt so much benefit from blogging daily, to actually explore the benefits of journaling.....and doing so daily.....it is the consistency piece for us all that I think is paramount.....in anything we do.....the things we do regularly, and with discipline, are the ones that change our lives for sure:) So I looked into it and here is what I found, in case anybody else is interested in beginning to write daily to hear themselves:) The benefits of journaling daily are improved mental health, improved self awareness, better perspective, improved communication, increased creativity, better goal achievement, enhanced critical thinking, and better memory........and I have found each of those to be true in my own experience....writing first thing when I wake up, has been a practice that has served me well along this journey......it helps untangle the thoughts and feelings that happen internally.....giving me a space to really hear myself......in a way I haven't before......and that has been paramount.....some days what I write about feels deeper or more profound to me, and other days it is the mundane.....but there are many times that in one keystroke I hear myself in a way I didn't before.....or have an epiphany.....an aha......and it has been so healing along the way.....I am sharing this today to encourage you to do the same......to grab a journal and jot some thoughts down.....I have a beautiful leather bound journal that a friend gave me....and I may start journaling at the end fo the day before bed for a few minutes....my handwriting is not great....and I have grown to like typing a lot....but it may be a new way to hear some of what goes on.........I am feeling forever grateful for the typing class I took in high school, that was indeed a skill I could take with me into the world......but I am willing to play some with doing that.....I set some goals for myself this week and I am achieving some.....falling short on others.....so I am revamping my approach some to make sure I meet the things I want to do......feeling a sense of increased discipline coming to find me, and am heeding it.......so I am working on those things.....some related to fitness, finance.....nutrition....and so much in between.....if writing or journaling appeals to your sensibilities at all......grab one and get started today! It may just change the game for you:) have a great day:)
