A Little Bit About Journaling

If you have never journaled before you may be wondering what that even means, how to do it, and why so many people pick up this habit. Journaling is simply writing down your thoughts, emotions, intentions, and so on without the fear of judgment or punishment. Journaling is a very popular habit because IT WORKS! There is something about getting the words out of your brain and on paper (or on your phone) that is a HUGE relief!! Keeping a journal is meant to be private and for your eyes only so you’re encouraged to release ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!!

Most of the time, the negative thoughts and emotions we have don’t really have any meaning…it’s just the anger and frustration coming out in an unhealthy way because we can’t express our unfiltered thoughts using a healthy outlet. When you are able to unload your unfiltered thoughts you can then release the negativity that is festering within you.

Journaling is also great to release positive emotions, thoughts, and intentions! Sometimes we can not express our full and genuine happiness to others so having an alternative outlet to unload allows for more good things to keep flowing.

To journal, you can simply use a blank notebook and respond to prompts you find online or on Pinterest. You can also purchase a guided journal that has daily prompts for you to respond to. Use whatever you feel comfortable with as the most important thing is to simply be consistent!

Some Benefits of Journaling…

Journaling is a wonderful way to reduce, manage, and cope with anxiety, depression, and/or stress. It can also help you gain clarity on a problem, fear, and/or concern. Keeping a mood and health journal allows you to track triggers and symptoms. It can also help identify negative habits that need personal improvement as journaling promotes self-reflection.

Journaling During the Full Moon

In many cultures throughout the years, it is believed that practicing rituals during different phases of the moon can bring about enormous change – this is called ‘moon magick’. This is because Lunar (moon) energy represents feminine energy as does our intuitive energy. As a result, when we connect and align these two energies, we can open a pathway for powerful manifestations to occur with ease! The full moon aligns with the energy of completion and self-reflection. During this phase, you may feel intense emotions which makes journaling the perfect activity to do to release emotions and get ready for the next lunar phase,

Final Thoughts

The most important thing to remember when journaling is that NO ONE will look at what you write so just dump everything! Let your thoughts come as they may and don’t judge yourself! Do not be discouraged if at first your thoughts are on the darker more negative side…remember, you can’t reach the good without experiencing some bad! Those unfiltered thoughts need to be released one way or another before they grow and become something real within you; journaling is the best outlet for this as you can unload without worrying that people will hold it against you.
