Pick a journal writing time that works best for you and make it a habit to write daily for maximum benefit. Just like anything else, once you are consistent, journaling becomes easier over time and it’s fun once you find your flow state.

 

 

Are you a start the day off on the right foot morning journal-er?

    • Journaling in the morning allows you to capture your ideas when your brain is fresh – ya know – before you’re bombarded with thoughts of all the tasks you need to complete for the day. “Run the day or it may run you” – is something I like to say.
    • It helps with setting intentions and a tone for your day, reinforcing the habit of self-reflection and personal growth.
    • You can outline and prioritize, which helps you stay focused throughout the day.
    • Creative thinking tends to take place in the morning when your mind is more open to new ideas, making it a perfect time to explore insights.

 

Here are some morning mindset journals to get you started

Journaling engages the mind, body, and brain. There are many areas of the brain that get activated and this helps process information and emotions easier.

Writing by hand is a lot slower than our capacity to think, which forces us to be present. It helps us to engage in our senses rather than our sometimes unsettled mind.

When we write things down the amygdala (part of our brain responsible for processing emotions and triggering fight/flight/freeze reactions calms down and as journaling becomes a habit, we’re better able to process our emotions, and no longer experience them with the same intensity.

When we write things down in general, information passes easier from our short term memory to our long term memory.

This Journal is meant to be destroyed (if you wish). It has prompts for painting, shredding, and transforming.  

Before, I knew this existed I was wrecking and stapling bits from napkins to insert into my journals – this is way better of course.
