"Writing is another powerful way to sharpen the mental saw. Keeping a journal of our thoughts, experiences, insights, and learnings promotes mental clarity, exactness, and context.”
― Stephen R. Covey
Writing does that and so much more.
For years, I poured my heart into writing articles on my blog. I shared my experiences, vented my frustrations, and celebrated the joys of life. My blog was a personal outlet.
When I wrote my first novel, the characters were me. I expressed my innermost feelings through them. The characters mirrored pieces of myself.
But amidst this creative journey, something was missing. My writing wasn't a daily practice; it was sporadic, driven by inspiration. That all changed when I began writing in my journal.
Writing in my journal (even if it was just a short paragraph) became more than just a creative outlet.
The act of putting pen to paper daily (instead of tapping away on my laptop) allowed me to unravel my thoughts, explore my emotions, and gain insights into my own being.
The practice of journalling became a daily ritual, a sacred space where I could find an outlet for the whirlwind of thoughts that occupied my mind (which to be honest, I really needed -- the whirlwind of thoughts and the commotion they create overwhelms me too often).
Journal writing has become an important part of my life, so much so that, I am happy to announce that I have published a series of journals on Amazon.
The series includes a gratitude journal, a self-care journal, a stream-of-consciousness journal, and a special daily journal designed for children.
Each journal is filled with prompts and motivational quotes that have personally helped me on my journey of growth and self-discovery.
I created these journals, with the hope that they would inspire others to embark on their own writing adventure.
As Stephen R. Covey pointed out, writing is a powerful tool for mental growth and self-discovery.
If you, too, seek mental clarity, self-awareness, and a profound connection with your thoughts and emotions, I invite you to explore my journals on Amazon.
