A versatile tool for comprehensive self-discovery and exploration.
While journaling has been understood as the practice of writing out thoughts, feelings and experiences, it need not be as ardurous as some have come to believe it to be. There is value in expressing ones experience through written format, a purging process if you will, there is also tremendous value in simplifying the process of journaling to engage our greatest superpower- Curisoity. Reflecting on your experiences or setting intentions using journal prompts to guide you forward in thought is beneficial as well. Reflective prompts or "journal questions" are intended to to engage your thinking beyond ones current experience or thoughts to encourage deeper contemplation, and deeper insights into ones internal experiences, needs and desires.
If we were to reframe "journaling" as a period of reflection, then journaling may take on a whole new meaning beyond writing out what one feels. When we allow ourselves to reflect on our experiences and engage with an array of questions (aka reflective/journal prompts) to guide us forward in this process, we embark on a greater path for self discovery and become our own cataslysts for meaningful change.
Get curious, consider the possibilities and create the experiences awaiting you.
