Moments of Thanks and Thanksgiving
It's such an easy thing. Instead of grumbling back in your memory at the end of the day, noting all the hassles and disappointments, all the things you didn't get done, all the annoyances that wrinkled the fabric of your life, all the regrets ... and all the stuff you have do to tomorrow, take just a moment write down something you have or something that happened or something that graced your life with a blessing for which you are grateful. Surely the moments of charm and delight deserve as much recognition as the junk and clutter, the vexations ... and the setbacks.

To Draw Blessings into Your Life

Treasures of Thanks for Other People
A gratitude journal dedicated to someone else really is a document to share while you can both enjoy its gift. In a journal, you have the time and space (and ability to say it again and again until you get it right!!) to say what you feel, say what you noticed, say what you value, say what you've realized -- and tell someone exactly why he or she is so precious to you.

Me and My Journal
Our journals don't judge, quibble, condemn or criticize. They don't have to get off the phone to make dinner ... or break up a fight between screaming kids. They don't interrupt with long harangues and complaints about their own problems so you wind up giving comfort and solace when you came seeking that in the first place. They don't fall asleep in the middle of what you're trying to say, or shrug and grunt in ways that tell you they're barely listening to you at all. These have all happened to me through the years in the friendships and relationships I've known.

Don't Let the Boogeyman Steal Your Dreams
The closer we come to reaching our dreams, the more our monstrous emotions and mind-talk flash their urgent warnings, "Stop! Don't go any further. You can't pull it off. You're not good enough. You're gonna screw up. Or get hurt. Or die!" When you buy into these threats, you can feel confused. Numb. Scattered. Unfocused.

Connecting the Past and the Present
Healing Abandonment and Abuse
Many people I work with in therapy or in my writing-as-healing classes discover stories that surprise them -- stories about the mistakes they felt their parents made, power imbalances in the family, or stories about physical or sexual abuse. The darker stories are often a surprise: when writers sat down to write, those issues were not directly on their minds, but deep, revealing stories erupted from the pen. Though they were unexpected, for some they were a relief.

Journaling for Personal Growth
One of the best ways to gain clarity about your life is by journaling your thoughts and feelings. Especially if you're feeling conflicted or confused about certain situations, writing your thoughts out can be incredibly enlightening!
You don't have to be a "writer" to journal effectively. In fact, your writing skills don't have to be good at all. Just the act of putting your thoughts into logical order and translating them to written form can help you to understand what you're feeling, and why.

The Power of Writing
Generating Profound Insights and
Solving Everyday Problems
When you attempt to solve a problem or find an answer to a question, much of your thought process is based on past experiences, negativity and your unconscious or conscious belief systems about yourself and the world. These can hinder your ability to identify the wide range of options and choices available to you. Intuitive writing taps into the information that lies below the surface of your conscious thought.

Angel to Angel
Years ago, my minister spoke to us about how you could solicit the help of your guardian angels to help with conflict resolution. She told us stories about how she and others had successfully asked their guardian angels to speak to the enemy's guardian angel.
The idea being that when you find yourself in an argumentative situation with someone, that you could request that your guardian angel talk angel to angel with their guardian angel about finding a win-win situation. She gave us examples of times when after asking for the angels to help mediate the problem, that the other party suddenly softened and the solutions began to easily show themselves.

Keeping a Love Journal
A separate journal devoted strictly to people, places and things, that you love, may seem like a waste of space at first. Why not just toss it in our regular journal. You might be thinking, "How can I fill up a whole book?" I shared this sentiment for years. After making the choice, one pre-Valentine day ten years ago in a bookstore, it became easy. A richer life began emerging because of it over time.

Journaling In The Now
Generally, people either live in the past or in the future the majority of their day. This leaves the opportunity of being in the present moment fleeting. It is only in our present moment where we can experience blissfulness, happiness, confidence, and being our authentic selves.

The Action in Attraction
10 Things You Can Do Today
Successful people have taken the time to clearly define their life vision and are willing to take action on fulfilling it every day. Action leads to movement, which leads to momentum, which naturally draws more of the 'good stuff' to them. The desire to meet a challenge and succeed has been a part of many cultures throughout history. The ancient Peruvians used to draw out their goals in symbols and paint them in primitive colors on the walls of caves. Likewise, we moderns have an innate need to live a fulfilling and meaningful life. However few of us seem to be able to attract more of what we really want. Writing can help immensely.
