How do you write a weekly journal?

Answer 1

Writing a weekly journal can be a great way to track your thoughts and improve your awareness about any aspect of your life that you'd like to improve. You can use your weekly journal to track the foods you eat, the amount of exercise you get, sleep habits, dreams, goals and aspirations, accomplishments, or Ah-moments that you'd like to remember. Journaling can be a great way to work though struggles or challenges and sort out how you feel and what you're thinking on any subject, from health, to work, to family and relationships, and life in general. Journaling can be an excellent way to improve your mind-body connection to better understand what you want, how you feel, and what you can do about it.

All you need to get started is a notebook and pen, or if you want to go digital, start a Journaling word doc on your computer. Pick a specific time of the day, and length of time that you plan to write in your journal. You might plan to write for ten to fifteen minutes, twenty to thirty minutes, or even an hour. It's best if you can make time to journal on a daily basis. Knowing when you will write and how long your journal sessions will be can help you keep consistent with your weekly writing efforts.

What you write in your journal is completely up to you. If you know what you want to write about, just start writing. If you're not sure what you want to be writing and feel stuck to get started, put your pen on the page and write whatever comes to mind. Let the words flow from your brain onto the page and don't worry about what's coming out; it will be exactly what you need to be writing. Never worry about "editing" as you go, just let the words flow onto the page as you become more aware and connect on new levels with your inner-self.
