Motivation to Start Journaling

Do you need motivation to keep a journal? Have you tried journaling in the past and wish you could be more consistent with it? What exactly is journaling? Dictionary.com defines a journal as “a daily record, as of occurrences, experiences, or observations.” So journal-ing describes the action.

What’s so great about keeping a journal anyway? Whether you are a veteran or novice journaler, please read these 11 outstanding posts about keeping a journal that are sure to provide at least one or two new ideas and the motivation you’re seeking.

MOTIVATION FROM The Benefits

Journaling can help you to keep track of your progress as you work toward your long and short-term life goals. It can remind you of things that you want to include in your schedule, and help to get frustrations out on paper (thereby improving your mood). There are so many benefits! Read the following posts for in-depth considerations about why you should keep a journal:

MOTIVATION from the MethodS

Tip: When you finish reading the following posts, take a minute to read through the comments and questions from folks who journal or want to start. Their input might spark an idea for a journaling method you’d like to try. For instance, at the end of one post below, someone asked about dual journaling. That’s an interesting concept!

Motivation

So don’t be shy after reading the posts, if you’re unclear about something leave a question or comment of your own. Most authors welcome new contributions to the discussion.

MOTIVATION FROM Prompts

You’ll discover that the information in the 11 posts overlaps somewhat, since each covers the basics in addition to providing tips. For example, several articles do it all, they discuss: the benefits of journaling, varying methods, and supply prompts. Even so, each writer’s expression is a little different, and reading them all can help you with some aspect of your journaling.

So are you motivated from what you’ve read so far? As Zig Ziglar used to say, “Motivation follows the action!” Why not grab your journal and get to journaling now, using one or more of the prompts you’ll read next?
