Journal Writing: Three Hot Tips to Elevate Your Journaling

I'd like to invite to elevate your journal writing to a wildly enjoyable adventure full of discovery and expression!

Below are 3 hot journaling tips to get you started on your journaling adventure today!

Hot Journaling Tip #1

Expand your definition of journaling to include the written word and creative expressions such as drawings, crafting, or cutting and pasting of your favorite items from a magazine.

Hot Journaling Tip #2

Sit and look around.  Notice the smallest  to the largest details that surround you, and from your observations create a list of journal writing topics.

For example, right now I could add to my journaling writing topic list these items:

A sunset, a blank notepad, a vase of flowers, a power thought for today, an empty glass, the word creativity, a robin, a lighthouse, an angel and a fire pit.

Pick one of your topics and use that as your journal writing prompt for that day! 

ADDED BONUS: Keep a running list of your journaling ideas and soon you'll have an extensive list of great journaling topics created by YOU!

Hot Journaling Tip #3!

Forget all the rules of journaling.  Release the purpose or outcome of journaling.  Disregard all the benefits of journaling.  Simply journal for the joy of journaling!  Try it and you just might be deliciously surprised by what you experience and discover.

I can tell you from personal experience that my journaling experiences are fantastic now that I have expanded my definition of journal keeping!  I hope it does the same for you, too.

Happy journal keeping...
