Keeping a Spiritual Journal<\/h2>\n

Last week, I spoke about keeping a journal as a tool to help with self-improvement<\/a>. Today I wanted to delve into more detail about what exactly that entails. <\/p>\n

As a child did you ever have a diary with a lock and little key? Did someone gifted you with a journal, yet you put it aside thinking someday I\u2019ll use it? Perhaps, you\u2019re wondering how useful journaling really is? If a journal wasn\u2019t productive, people wouldn\u2019t have been keeping them for decades.<\/p>\n

The number one benefit of a spiritual journal is it releases all those thoughts that are stuck inside of your head! It\u2019s impossible to grow spiritually if your mind is bogged down with gunky thoughts! Some of those thoughts are negative, obsessive, or downright bonkers, which may cause you to laugh hysterically upon reading what you have wrote. When you observe what you\u2019ve written, it could trigger an emotional release, too. A journal aids you to discharge what is stunting your personal and spiritual growth.<\/p>\n

Another method to eliminate stinking thinking with your journal is to write down a negative or fearful thought, replace it with a positive thought, allow yourself to respond to the positive thought, and repeat this process until you feel free from your fearful or negative thinking. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example: I\u2019m going to be single for the rest of my life! Everyone on Earth has a soul mate. Well, I\u2019m not everyone, I\u2019ll never find anyone. God and the angels are arranging your partner to come into your life. Are you kidding me, what about the last date I had with that jerk! The jerk was a fluke, focus on your spiritual growth, self-love, and the right one will come in\u2026 <\/p>\n

Hate writing?<\/h3>\n

You may be thinking, \u201cWell, writing in a spiritual journal may work for you, Pamela, but I despise writing.\u201d Got it! Some people don\u2019t like to write; therefore, use another method to journal. <\/p>\n

Here are some examples of different types of journals:<\/p>\n
