Write in a journal 

We began using a journal back in 2015 after my mother died. It was a sad, stressful time and I made the decision that I preferred to get my feelings down on paper than live in all the pain. It was the best thing I did at the time. Here are some benefits of using a journal for a life reset: 

Studies Have Shown:
✓ People who journal experience better moods.
✓ Journaling helps to reduce stress.
✓ Regular journaling is an effective tool to fight depression and anxiety.
✓ People who journal don’t get sick as often.

Journaling Tips for Your Best Life Reset
✓ Write by hand – this has been the most powerful experience for me. Each morning I write 3 pages using pen and paper. At first, I wasn’t sure how this was going to work out and now it has been six months since I began this project. All I can say about my experience is I look forward to my writing each morning. Give it a go and you might find it is the same for you. 

✓ Choose your journal to fit your needs

✓ Start simply – I use a simple notepad from the dollar store and a good Cross pen. 

✓ Ignore the word count

✓ Embrace inspiration – This is the exciting aspect of this for me. The inspiration and creativity that has come from morning writing. 

✓ Choose the best time of day – I have found that first thing in the morning is an excellent time because the house is quiet and peaceful. No distractions. 

✓ Go into detail

✓ Focus on the emotion – powerful and healing

✓ Don’t beat yourself up

✓ Make journaling part of your morning practice and routine

✓ Forget perfectionism

✓ Try a brain dump

✓ Let therapy happen

✓ Use a writing prompt – I have used Affirmation cards, Crystal Message cards, SoulFlower cards and so many other ideas to prompt me in my writing. 
​
✓ Get artistic
