To journal is to make use of pen and paper to record events, thoughts, emotions, possibilities, priorities, and just about anything else on our minds. Journal keeping as a tool for self-reflection allows us to shape vague and amorphous thoughts and feelings into concrete and coherent language. It is a way to organize, prioritize, and find an outlet for the incessant chattering of the mind. Journaling can be a powerful tool for releasing pent-up emotions as well as for self-discovery. As such, it is a way of making the inner voices of one’s heart, mind, and soul more audible.
“Journalkeeping is an act of risk, disclosure,
vulnerability and courage.
It is also an act of self-affirmation.”
~ Kay Leigh Hagan
