Ideas Shared How-To Build a Powerful Journal Practice

1. Use what works for you. I used to think journaling needed to be in a particular kind of notebook and sound a certain kind of way. Not anymore.
2. Try different formats. “Morning Pages;” Bullets in a word document. Letter to Love. Haikus. Handwritten prose in a bound journal. My own “journal” is written on loose paper and placed in a file folder to keep it in one place.
3. Leverage prompts. These can be questions, like the ones shared on this podcast. It can also be a meditation. A response to a piece of art. Or something you read. Or a view out your window. I will often think of a question and draw tarots to prompt be to respond.
4. Be consistent. This is a practice. I’m not a stickler that you have to do it every day. But it should be regular.
5. Do it for yourself and have fun. Don’t take yourself too seriously. This is for you.
