I just love journaling! I have been journaling for the past 20 years of my life. But not until I discovered the Higher Awareness website did I learn that there was something more to just casually journaling being an outlet to pour out my feelings, frustrations, heartaches, pains, joys and achievements. I realized that there was a rhyme and reason to journaling. That with purpose and understanding of how it works it is one of the most effective tools to develop personal growth and awareness to GO DEEPER within myself to heal hurts, pain and wounds and to GO HIGHER within myself to discover and expand my potentials, gifts and talents. I also learned that there are different journaling tools for different needs.
To quote from the workbook “Go Deeper. . . . Reach Higher”, some of the benefits of journaling are:
- Awareness and Authenticity
- Balance
- Clarity, commitment, creativity
- Decision making ability
- Expansion and Empowerment
- Focus, fun
- Goals and growth
- Healing and harmony
- Intuition, insights, imagination and inspiration
- Joy
- Knowledge of Self, Reality, Truth
- Learning, love, letting go
- Manifestations, motivation, meaning
- Non-judgmental, clarifies needs
- Opening, optimism
- Peace of mind, planning, purpose
- Quality of life
- Results, release, relaxation
- Spiritual connection, serenity
- Truth and Transformation
- Understanding
- Values
- Wisdom and Wholeness
- Explanation, Exploration, Expansion
- You get to know yourself better
- Zest and better sleep
