So About Morning Journaling
Journaling in the morning is just… great.
It’s a way to put yourself first at the beginning of the day. This is especially true you are a person that regularly serves others.
Take the first moments of the day to serve YOU.
Give yourself a solid 20-30 minutes to just be alone, take in the morning, and journal.
It’s very easy for life to become so congested with service that you forget to serve yourself. You are not a machine.
Even if you do view yourself as a machine, allow your mornings to be your time to “warm-up” before performing.
The best way to do this is to keep your journal on your night stand ready to go in the morning. Keep a pen nearby too.
Starting your day this will give you a positive kickstart. Afterall, your thoughts influence your emotions and journaling (especially with prompts) will give your mind some guidance to feelings of confidence, optimism, and motivation.
My day is drastically different when I start it with a gratitude list … Rather then when I just roll out of bed and get going.
Having that moment to look inward puts the “pause-button” on life so I can settle on a perspective and enter the day with the intention to gain from it rather than to “see what happens”.
Happy Journaling!
