Why writing in your journal is helpful

 Why writing in your journal is helpful 


Writing in journal helps us in many ways.

Here are just five reasons why Journalling is helpful: 

1. Clarity of thoughts: Writing down your thoughts and feelings can help you clarify and process them, giving you a clearer understanding of your emotions and thought patterns.

2. Stress relief: Journaling has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety by allowing you to express and release your emotions in a safe and private space.

  1. 3. Improved self-awareness: By reflecting on your experiences, you can gain a better understanding of your reactions, behaviors, and thought processes.
  2. 4. Increased creativity: Journaling can help you tap into your creative juices, allowing you to explore new ideas, perspectives, and solutions to problems.
  3. 5. More positive attitude: Writing about the things you are grateful for and the positive experiences in your life can help you cultivate a more positive mindset.

Ok, that's all great, but how do you get started? Here are five tips:

  1. Find the perfect journal: I totally recommend the AwesoME Inc Mindset Journals!!
  2. 1. Set aside time: Choose a time each day or week to journal. Consistency is key, so make it a habit to journal at the same time each day or week. I find doing it daily is ideal.
  3. 2. Find a comfortable and quiet space: Create a peaceful and comfortable environment to journal in, make a space that is your sanctuary!
  4. 3. Use prompts: If you’re struggling to get started, try using prompts, such as “What am I grateful for today?” or “What are my thoughts on…” Our journals make this super easy!
  5. 4. Be honest and authentic: Write down your true thoughts and feelings, even if they are negative or difficult. This is your private space, and it’s important to be honest and authentic.
  6. 5. Don’t judge yourself: Remember that journaling is a tool for self-reflection and growth, not a place for self-criticism. It is super important to be kind and non-judgmental with yourself as you write.

Of course we love journaling, but it really is a simple and effective way to improve your mindset and cultivate a positive and self-aware perspective. 

The I Am... Mindset Journals are such a great place to get started.

Try it and see how it makes you feel.

The Importance of Going After your goal You Want

 Importance of achieving goals  My dream came true!  Experiencing self-doubt is part of being human. It is easy to automatically assume you are not good enough, not talented, or not skilled enough to dream big or get the outcome you want. But I did it! I made my dream happen in the music industry. To assume other people’s  dreams  come true, but not yours. I think this can be especially true for those in a minority group including people with chronic health concerns or a disability. Regardless of my health condition I still did make it happen.  You may not achieve a goal simply because you tried and worked hard, but if you don’t try you will not even have the possibility of reaching your goal. The act of taking values-based action, regardless of the outcome is beneficial. It is motivating and vitalizing to know you are taking steps toward something meaningful to you. While it is nice to get the outcome you want, I find there is a sense of satisfaction and p...

Building a resilient child

  As much as we would love to shield our kids from the harder parts of life, sadly we can’t keep them from facing challenges, big and small. I believe it is important to teach kids how to handle challenges in life like I did. What we can do, however, is teach our kids the skills of resilience. I’ve been through a lot as a child and lost a sibling through suicide in 1995 and there was nothing for children back in 1995 they swept it under the carpet but it’s important we actually learn ways to overcome these traumatic experiences. Resilience is what helps us humans cope when times get tough. Although the term ‘ resilience ’ is talked about a lot these days, it’s not always well understood. It doesn’t mean simply putting on a brave face or learning not to care about what happens to us. It means facing the negative situations with courage. It’s about being able to recognise that some things in life are hard. And it’s ok to have big feelings about that.  When we can accept our fee...

Sure, it can feel like some people experience more hardship than others but think about the people you know. Really know. Chances are, most of them struggle with something. The best we can do is work on how we respond to challenges. These science-backed strategies are a good place to start. 1. Acceptance This doesn't mean you agree with the situation, but you can acknowledge it as your current reality.
