#JournalChat Live Facebook Event with Special Guests, Naomi Arnold, Vicki Taylor and Rafraz Davis; Your Journaling: Life Intentions (Align Yourself) (Day One) Part II

One of the ways I use my journaling practice to align myself is by listening carefully to my intuition, giving my intuitive voice a place to be heard. This works for any dimension of my life, whether artistic, communicative, familial or community based.

I think one of the biggest challenges in journaling to know myself better and stayed aligned with Who I am is meeting up with necessary change in my self discovery, whatever that change may look like. Staying Aligned takes courage.

  • Naomi Arnold Oh yes, giving ourself permission to acknowledge and move with change is so important. In order to do this in our journal practice, we need to be truly open to self-exploration don't we - to self-expression, to honesty, to uncovering some uncomfortable thoughts, to asking ourselves questions to dig deeper into them, to just writing what comes out uncensored, to going with the flow of what comes out and what lessons we can take from it. To know that it's not always going to be "peaches and cream", but by getting to know ourselves more, we will experience more "peaches and cream" moments.

  • Dawn Herring Going with the flow of what comes out of our journaling pen is so important; not be resistant but open to what we discover! It's all good.

  • Brenda Thompson U r so right about journaling helping to know ourselves, express ourselves & experience peaches & creams moments. I get a great sense of accomplishment at days end by seeing if only for myself, how I feel/my accomplishments.

  • Naomi Arnold Oh yes, and letting go of resistance often gives us the space to make new discoveries and to see potentialities we may have missed before.

  • Dawn Herring Going with the flow of my journaling always works for me. There's no wrong way..unless you're beating yourself up in the process. We call for gentle awareness that Honors Who We Are.
