I saw these photos about journaling and thought to share… As a member of a minimalist group on Facebook, our challenge today was to journal for 15 minutes. This morning I went ahead and quietly journaled for 15 minutes, and it was quite therapeutic. During and after, I felt calmer, happier, more peaceful, more energized, and ready for the day ahead.
What did I journal? I wrote down positive encouragements for myself, prayers, and bible verses, such as:
“Today will be a great day. I will feel good today and find the good in every moment. This morning I feel good because…”
“I am a healthy and happy person, and I will be kind to myself. I think of Ellen Degeneres’ saying ‘Be kind to one another’. We need to be more kind to all people around us, but also be more kind to ourselves.”
“I pray for peace, love, compassion, good health, happiness, and strength for all people all over the world. I pray for healing for those that are sick. I pray for renewed strength, calmness, confidence, and happiness for myself.”
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar above on wings of eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”
“Be humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”
How do you journal? What do you journal about?
