From Head and Heart to Hand Part 2

No picture today so I have more space to write! A book about journaling that I find very helpful is Journal to the Self by Kathleen Adams. In it there is a section titled The Journal Toolbox.

Here are some suggestions or as she calls them, "springboards" to help get you started:

There are 2 kinds of springboards: statements and questions. Each statement or question will be a beginning idea that you can then elaborate on: What was the best/worst part of my day? My job is maddening! Things I can do on a rainy day. Today I feel ___ years old! I'm proud of myself for...Today was a ____ day. You can generate a list of springboard statements and questions on the first page of your journal to reference each time you begin a new entry. Try coming up with your own springboard statements.

Remember there is no right or wrong way to journal. This can be an exerise that will be fun for you! All you need is a piece of paper and a pen. Enjoy!!
