I guess I have to admit I also like the focus of a single keyword. #journalchat

@EnneaJoycelyn So have you, Joycelyn. It's a win-win. :) #JournalChat

@EnneaJoycelyn Sounds delightful, Joycelyn. Talk about multi-dimensional! You'll have to let me know how that goes. #JournalChat

I also like your approach, Joycelyn, w/ creating a sentence or question w/ your key word. A great way to explore context. #JournalChat

Maybe I'll choose a keyword and a song and let it be my theme song/word for Autumn. What do you think?#journalchat

EnneaJoycelyn3:59pm via TweetChat

I've been getting back into doing collage, and I think that's another way to work with a keyword.#journalchat

JournalChat3:58pm via HootSuite

@EnneaJoycelyn Oh, I love the idea of choosing a song, almost like a theme, to your key word. Wow. Another dimension. :) #JournalChat

Meditation is wonderful to use with journaling. How about choosing a piece of music or song that represents the keyword? #journalchat

With a mindmap, you can employ color and other elements, if you're so inclined. I like that part, too.#journalchat

@EnneaJoycelyn that's a good question, Joycelyn. Different approaches can reveal different meanings.#JournalChat

@OutOTWhirlwind #Journaling can often bring us to a place of true 'knowing' in a way that is profound and life changing. #JournalChat

@OutOTWhirlwind I often refer to life contexts as dimensions since they are all intertwined.#JournalChat

EnneaJoycelyn3:47pm via TweetChat

@scarsandsllyoga hello. Do you freewrite or do you use different formats when you journal the same word? #journalchat

JournalChat3:47pm via HootSuite

@ScarsandAllYoga It's amazing how you've delved deep with a word for months. Surrender is a powerful word, too. #JournalChat

JournalChat3:46pm via HootSuite

@ScarsandAllYoga Welcome to #JournalChat Live, Wendi. It's lovely to meet you. :)

@OutOTWhirlwind Yes, when we journal a word that carries immediate meaning for us, we can look deeper into why. #JournalChat

@JournalChat One word can have so many meanings- I've been journaling about "surrender" for months- peeling away to the truth. #JournalChat

@outofthewhirlwind is a journal template inviting clarity along varied life contexts. #JournalChat

Journaler sharing comments allows for further 'coaching' questions--invites deeper inquiry.#JournalChat

JournalChat3:41pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind Are you referring to a specific journal you provide or to each individual's journal in your class? #JournalChat

EnneaJoycelyn3:40pm via TweetChat

And maybe more focused. I like the sound of "immediately in tune." #journalchat

JournalChat3:40pm via HootSuite

@EnneaJoycelyn Do they notice words when they're not looking for them? I actually love it when that happens. #journalchat

JournalChat3:39pm via HootSuite

@EnneaJoycelyn Perhaps choosing one for a season is more amiable, doable, & even insightful. Keeps us more immediately in tune. #JournalChat

Yes, I agree. That happens quite frequently with this small group of women I mentioned earlier.#journalchat

JournalChat3:38pm via HootSuite

@EnneaJoycelyn that's a good point, Joycelyn. To have a focus word for the year is along time.#JournalChat

JournalChat3:38pm via HootSuite

I notice words when I'm not looking for them; that's often how we sense when one word draws us powerfully. #JournalChat #Journaling

"Bite" off. #journalchat

JournalChat3:37pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind So the focus with the word is emotion and how they connect with their journal entry. Fascinating. #JournalChat

EnneaJoycelyn3:36pm via TweetChat

Yes, since I seem to like the limits of a timer, focusing on a whole year might be a big chunk for me to bit off. :) #journalchat

JournalChat3:36pm via HootSuite

@EnneaJoycelyn Oh, there are so many places to find words that resonate and have meaning. We just need to keep eyes open. #JournalChat

That's a great idea (song lyrics). I was thinking about reading some poetry. Lots of different sources out there. #journalchat

@OutOTWhirlwind And how do you do this specifically with #Journaling, Michael. Discerning the language is good. #JournalChat

EnneaJoycelyn3:32pm via TweetChat

That gives me an idea for choosing a word for a season. Autumn starts tomorrow, so the timing is right! #journalchat

JournalChat3:32pm via HootSuite

@EnneaJoycelyn It depends on what direction I take with or without the word. Sometimes it's not as significant or important. #JournalChat

@EnneaJoycelyn That's wonderful, Joycelyn! I love it when what I work with with words has such a profound effect. #JournalChat

EnneaJoycelyn3:12pm via TweetChat

Sure. Set a timer for 10 minutes and flow-write (no censoring). Then set the timer again but write more reflectively. #journalchat

Hi Jocelyn, gr8 to meet you! do you have a link you could share to the blog post you mentioned?#JournalChat

JournalChat3:12pm via HootSuite

@LifeWriterCoach That sounds delightfully interesting, Lynda. Love that. #JournalChat And one word is all you need to get going.

Using my own personal keywords with that exercise has been some of the most powerful insightful journaling I've ever done. #journalchat

JournalChat3:11pm via HootSuite

@EnneaJoycelyn Can you describe this exercise in more detail? What do you do in those ten minutes?#JournalChat

EnneaJoycelyn3:11pm via TweetChat

In my blog post yesterday I wrote about the two timed writing exercises I've been doing for several months.#journalchat

LifeWriterCoach3:10pm via HootSuite

In journal writing retreats - I get everyone to offer 1 word - then we use all words to create a piece of writing each. #JournalChat

@EnneaJoycelyn Can you tell us more about using those key words. :) #JournalChat

EnneaJoycelyn3:09pm via TweetChat

Lately I've been using a keyword list I made based on some other work I've been doing. And then doing 2 10-minute exercises. #journalchat
