How to journal

Anyone can journal, anywhere, at any time. All you need is a pen and paper. Of course a structured journal makes it a lot easier.

What should I journal about?

Absolutely anything! What you had for dinner, breakfast and lunch, your new fitness plan, what came up for you during meditation, What you are thinking, your day. What do you want? A letter to your future self/past self. A poem, a story, a book. Your thoughts, your goals, your purpose, your values. Absolutely anything you feel like. I like to write about what I’m learning, when I write in my own word it makes more sense. Go have some fun with it
