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 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 can 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 here, online, or on Pinterest. You can also purchase a guided journal that has daily prompts for you to respond to. Or you just grab a piece of paper and write what is in your heart as it comes. 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.

What is a Witch?

First and foremost, the term ‘witch’ carries a negative connotation and has for a very long time. Generally, witches can be defined in three ways: someone who practices rituals or spells, someone who is a psychic medium or a tarot reader, or someone who worships the Pagan gods. Most commonly, witches simply hone in on the power and energy of the universe to manifest their desires.

To be a witch means you are in tune with the universe and the energy it has to offer. This means you are able to harness the powerful energy the universe naturally emits and use it in your favor. Energy comes from many different sources and as a witch, you would be open to receiving that energy. These energy sources can come from crystals, flowers, herbs, candles, etc.

Being a witch also means you keep the cycle of giving and receiving in balance. It’s about helping others while spreading positivity, love, and peace. Witches have a beautiful way of living in harmony will ALL beings.

Most importantly, being a witch means being who you are and not apologizing for it.
