Journaling- Do it!
Journaling
It’s possibly what your life could use more of…
““Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.””
Hey everyone! If you aren’t much for keeping a journal or you’ve been thinking about getting started then I would like to encourage you with this—life gets loud. School, work, friendships, family, emotions, doubts, pressure, goals, ideas—it’s a lot! But what if you had a space to slow down, clear your head, lower your stress/anxiety, and even possibly better hear from God? That’s what journaling can be!
It’s not just a “diary” thing.
It’s where you can…
Process your thoughts without judgment
Understand your emotions better
Find peace when life feels chaotic
Sketch out ideas & draw out your interests
Paste physical photos & notes about them
Set goals & track them
See how God is moving in your life
Make scripture personal
Write out your prayers
No rules. No perfect grammar— raw and real.
““I owe a good deal to this journal. By unburdening my mind on paper I feel, as it were, in some degree to get rid of it; it seems made over to a friend that hears it patiently, keeps it faithfully, and by never forgetting anything, is always ready to compare the past & present and thus to cheer & edify the future.””
Start small. Start messy. Just start. You’ll be surprised how much healing, clarity, fun and growth can happen when you make journaling a habit!
