Today's topic: Tips on how to keep a journal
Today's tips are:
After going through many different websites looking through tips and advice I have found some really great ones that I will share with you.
We are all really busy and we might think "where am I going to find the time to do this" Many people say if you want to do something, do it first thing in the morning. This way the rest of your day does not get in the way of it.
Tip 1: The moment you wake up take a few minutes to get out your notebook and write.
Tip 2: Do not try writing pages and pages of things, jotting down a couple of thoughts and feelings or an experience or 2 is perfect. It does not have to be long.
Tip 3: If you struggle with writing, this will be one of the best ways to get over it. If you don't know what to write about, write that you have nothing to write about today and close the journal. When looking back you will notice how this changes and how your writing everyday improves. This is so you keep consistency and never lose the habit.
You know who you are and what is the best way to form a new habit.
Tip 4: Make it a habit, structure and consistency is key to success!
Tip 5: If you have always struggled doing things daily, then don't force it. Start of small, maybe a journal entry once a month or even once week. Once you have set the habit you can increase the amount of times you write in your journal and it will not be so hard.
Just on a little side note for self improvement. I will be doing pushups, situps and squats for the amount of $$$ (ratio;$1:1) I earn on this post and will give a short feedback every day at the end of each post. This will be split in equally between all 3. Any not done will carry onto the next day.
