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.

Just the Facts, Ma'am!
Writing down the achievements that excite you lets you and Universe know what you really want in life. You awaken to surprising and valuable insights into yourself. You discover the qualities that fulfill you. You uncover wants and needs you were unaware of. You identify your core values.

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.

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.

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.

Your Journal, Your Journey, Your Story
Everyone has a story. Your experiences, your feelings, ideas, thoughts, and dreams all combine to form your life and your journey, which is your story. A great way to keep a relative reflection of all those things that have happened in your life is to keep a journal. A daily journal, a weekly journal, a month end summary journal, any or all these are ways you can keep track and record your experiences, your story.

Learn from Life
Here is a practice that I have found helpful. You will most likely want to read through all of the instructions at least once before actually doing this practice. Sit comfortably with a notebook or journal by your side. Breathe deeply at least five or six times, inhaling and exhaling through your nose. Take a moment and think of a time when you seemed to have learned something that is detrimental to your overall well being.

Letter Writing Journaling
When you read a letter from someone, we are immediately transferred into their world, experience, and physical reality. You can capture the same feeling by writing letters to yourself or about other people in your journal. Letter writing is the easiest form to use in journaling. On occasion, you might have already dabbled in writing letters in your journal.
