Many times over my adult life I have attended a training class and one of the recommended actions to take after the session was to write down my reflections; to keep a journal
The various recommendations I've received included
Try to write every day to help with this, set aside a few minutes every day to write
Keep a pen and paper handy at all times better still have a dedicated journal to use
Write or draw whatever feels right. Your journal doesn't need to follow any certain structure
Use your journal as you see fit - there is no right or wrong way to journal
Over the years I've used prompts which have come and gone as the season or stage of life has changed
What was my greatest challenge to day?
How did I overcome it and
What would I do differently next time
have been replaced by
What am I grateful for
What kind of person do I want to be? and
How did my inner critic appear today?
One of my favorite to do's is to periodically review my journal looking for patterns and key words or emotional trends to further reflect on
