Committed to Your Success Coaching & Consulting

One technique I firmly believe in and recommend to my clients is journaling.  It has many benefits, which include:

•  it captures thoughts and feelings that you may want to hold on to
•  it can help you release anygry or unhappy feelings without hurting anyone’s feelings
•  it can help in making important decisions
•  it can help you say goodbye to a loved one
•  it can help you reaffirm your goodness

Journaling can be what you want it to be. It is for your eyes only, so you don’t have to worry about yelling, cursing, or saying some of the things you would like to say.  It is meant to be a forum for you to express yourself through self-reflection, which can be very therapeutic and catharctic.  Journaling can help you to discover yourself - who you are, how you feel, and why you do the things you do (or don’t do).  Journaling does not have to be about the written word, as you can express your feelings through drawing or through writing songs or poetry.  You can capture a journey you take, such as when you are job-hunting or when you are getting married or divorced.  Journaling can help you to resolve the past and give you hope for the future and all the while helping you to truly know who you are.
