Journal Prompts

Whatever form your journaling takes.

Whether you are just starting out or you’re a seasoned journaler…

Any reason is reason enough and we all find inspiration in any number of places.  Whether its in our everyday experiences, from books, films, or conversations, from our work or world events.

Here I am offering some ‘jumping off’ places for your journaling.  Why not see where they lead you ?   These are simply suggestions, ideas that may help get you started when you may be looking for ideas outside your own immediate experience

Remember…

  • There’s no right or wrong
  • We are our own worst critic
  • Notice the experience of the ‘process’, the ‘doing’

Our journal offers us a safe place to explore and express our fears, our hopes, our experiences, our ideas and our dreams.  Let us allow ourselves the privilege and benefit of this one activity without the need for external validation or approval and free from the weight of expectation of gain or profit.

Can we allow the benefit of the experience of the ‘doing’ to be ‘enough’?

Finding Our Own Inspiration

Finding Our Own Inspiration

Our theme this month has been 'Finding our own Inspiration'. All of this months quotes are selection from the people who I admire and/or inspire me or who's lives & legacy have been an inspiration.
  On the wall behind my desk, I have pictures of some of these people who are important to me.
  I find it helpful to have these constant visual reminders.

Becoming Us

Becoming Us

Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything
Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that isn't really you
so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place

    Paulo Coelho (from his book 'The Alchemist')
