You know I love writing in a journal, and I believe everyone else should too! There are so many benefits to putting your thoughts on paper. So, to give you another little nudge to start writing, I’ve created this 30 Day Journal Challenge.
This challenge will include journal prompts, creative writing, introspection, and lists.
If you don’t already have a sacred space for yourself, find a chair or spot in your home to designate as your journal area. Make it inviting so that you want to use it every day.
Discover what types of writing you enjoy the most. Then make it a practice. You will be amazed at how it can open up so many ideas, desires, and possibilities for your life.
The purpose of journal prompts is to get you thinking and let your mind wander wherever it wants to go. Open your mind to allow your higher spirit to download as well.
