This week on The DEB ShowI, host Debra Eckerling discusses journaling with Jen Jones Donatelli, Creative Groove; Lynda Monk, director of the International Association for Journal Writing; and cartoonist Chari Pere. There are plenty of benefits to journaling from self-care and emotional wellbeing to problem solving and productivity.
The panel shared their early journaling experiences, as well as thoughts on the value of a regular practice, options for journaling, and so much more.
The Benefits of Journaling
- Lynda: Journaling helps you to know – and craft – who you truly are. It’s one thing to think our thoughts, it’s another to write them down. Plus, knowing yourself improves you relationships with others
- Jen: It gives you a reason to carve out time for yourself every day
- Chari: You get to say things to yourself that you wouldn’t necessarily say out loud
- Jen: Journaling also helps you track synchronicity
- Lynda: Manifestation happens when you think about what you want, write it down, and speak it
Journaling Prompts
- Lynda: Use visuals, quotes, and questions to inspire you
- Chari: Write your future in the present tense
- Jen: Highlight self-care in morning mojo sessions; ask what your body, mind, and spirit are trying to tell you on this day
Goals
- Chari: Pick one thing to write about: gratitude, a good deed, etc. Then, put a doodle next to it. The doodle should add to what you are writing
- Jen: Find ways to make your journaling routine really juicy: find your ideal spot, snack, or practice to make the entire experience enticing
- Lynda: Join a journaling community
Final Thoughts
- Jen: Give yourself some grace around your journaling practice
- Cheri: Start by writing in 15 minutes sessions
- Lynda: Write about your thoughts and feelings, not just what you see and experience
