Keeping a Journal

Writing

One thing I really love to do is write. I’m an expressive person by nature with lots of thoughts and ideas that spill into my head at any given time. I realized recently that I have no vehicle through which to do justice to all that. So I took myself to exclusive books and got myself a gorgeous little moleskin book and some nice pens!

With the new year having started I’ve decided to journal more. Going to Spain, Portugal and New York this year should see me filling up quite a few pages! 

I believe in balancing your life – physical, social, mental and spiritual. Journalism is a great way to achieve that balance. 

After journaling for about a week, I’ve realized a few things: 

  1. I have a better idea of what 2012 was like.
  2. I have a better idea of what I want 2013 to look like.
  3. I take for granted how lucky and blessed I am. 
  4. I much prefer old-fashioned pen and paper to the screen and keyboard!

Do you journal? What do you use it for – to spill your thoughts? To share your fears? Recap your day?

  1. You’re right, keeping a journal keeps those fantastic ideas you get from floating away! Who knows how much we miss by not keeping track?
