Unlock the full potential of your journaling experience with these five tips for creative writing. First, embrace freewriting by setting aside dedicated time to write without inhibitions or expectations, allowing your thoughts to flow freely. Engaging your senses is another way to enhance your writing, incorporating vivid descriptions of what you see, hear, touch, taste, and smell to create a more immersive and evocative experience. Additionally, experiment with different perspectives, writing from the viewpoint of diverse characters or concepts to unlock fresh insights and stretch your creative muscles. Don't limit yourself to words alone - incorporate visual elements such as sketches, doodles, or images that resonate with your thoughts and emotions. Finally, seek inspiration everywhere, capturing moments of inspiration as they arise, whether it be a snippet of conversation, a dream, or the way sunlight filters through your window. There are no rules in creative journaling, only endless possibilities waiting to be explored. So grab your journal and let your imagination soar!

Mornings are my absolute favorite, but it didn't use to be that way. During my season of grief after infertility testing, I turned to gratitude journaling and learning how to structure an intentional morning routine.

Do you ever feel like you are just running on auto pilot? Think about that time you were driving to work or you've drive a path you've been on dozens of times almost to have missed your turn or think how did I get here so quickly? Maybe this has happened to you when you have gone out to run errands, or do laundry, or you tune out when someone is talking to you.
Time goes so fast and it can be so hard to keep up mentally with all the activities that fill your day. If you've been feeling like life is just passing you by or you are missing...

It's definitely not rocket science to write in a journal. But, there sure is something vulnerable about writing in a journal. You open your journal up only to stare at the blank pages and wonder how on earth you are going to fill a whole journal - what could you possibly write about everyday? Want to know a little secret?
You can write about anything you want! A majority of the time, it is your fear of being vulnerable that blocks you from know what to write about.First, I want you to know that you can show up 100% as the real you in your journal. Your journal doesn't shame or guilt you or roll its' eyes at you. It's there for you to gain understanding, clarity, inspiration and hope. There's quite a few different journaling techniques that you can use as a guide as you are getting started. You can read about The Different Journaling Techniques HERE to see which one would be a good fit for you.
How I show up to my journaling sessions is different each day. You also need to take into consideration what season of life you are in. Are you venturing through a grieving season? Gratitude journaling can be a very healing and special time for you as you process your grief. That's exactly how I first started journaling was during my season of grief after the news of our infertility. Maybe things are going well for you, but you have a project or work meeting that you just don't have clarity on. Free write your thoughts and ideas out. When you write out all your thoughts you are then given a visual of what was swirling around in your mind. You can see everything so clearly and make sense of your ideas and piece it together.
Don't be afraid to write your thoughts, ideas, dreams and prayers within the pages of your journal. Your journaling session is for you and it's meant to be a small window within your day where you can care and nurture for yourself. It's where you can gain clarity, inspiration, hope and excitement. If you are really worried about someone reading something vulnerable that you share in your journal, you can rip the page out and toss it away, burn it, or shred it. There's no shame in that. Write even when things don't make sense. It might not make sense to anyone else (again, you are the only one who sees your journal), but it makes sense to you.
