Getting started Journaling

 If you are thinking about starting with journaling.  Here are some pointers:

1) Determine the right journaling type for you and your needs is the first step.

2) Get the right journal for you and your needs.  Do you like fancy or cute journals?  Or if you purchased a fancy or cute journal will you not want to use it to save it for the important stuff?  Determine what journal will motivate you to make this a habit and stay with it.

3) Journaling should be a reliever of stress.  So, don't stress out if you planned on doing a daily journal and you miss a day or a week.  It is fine.  Journal when it makes the most sense for you and your schedule.  You will still get the benefits of journaling on your own timeline.  And start out small.  Journaling for 5 or 10 minutes will make a big impact.

4) Practice makes perfect so keep up with journaling.  You will see progress over time.  

Some ideas to help you get started with journaling are to write about your dreams or goals or how you feel about a situation and what you can do to work through a situation.

Journaling is extremely beneficial if you are in a difficult situation or feeling down. 

What trips do you want to take?  Who do you admire?  What good can you do in the world?  All good questions to journal about or think through while you journal.  Journaling will help you to figure out what you aspire for and what you aspire to be. 

Additional journaling prompts (questions) are found at 50 best journaling prompts.

Start out small and don't feel like you have to journal for a long time or that you have to do it every day.  I'd suggest starting out with the goal of journaling a few times a week and then try journaling daily.  Figure out what works for you.
