Simple tips on starting journaling and making it a habit

Starting journaling can be challenging. 

That's why a lot of people don’t do it or stop.

Here are 3 tips to help you: 

 Write for your own eyes only.

Your task is to leave your inner critic behind the door and express yourself freely and without judgment. 

 5-10 minutes of journaling is enough.

There is a myth that you need to write a few pages in one sitting to call it “journaling.” Writing just a few sentences in the beginning, is enough.

 Create a writing routine that suits your schedule 

Timeblock a few journaling minutes for yourself at the time of the day that suits you best.

It can be in the morning after breakfast or in the evening before falling asleep.

If you don’t want to stare at a blank journaling page, you can use journaling prompts to start writing in your journal… 

For example, ask these 3 journal prompts if you want to change your life and get unstuck.

• First, what would I do if I had all the money I wanted?
• The second one: What would I attempt to achieve if success was guaranteed?
• The third one: How would I like others to describe my life after its end? Am I happy with their description, or can I change something?
