Do you journal? What's your flavor?

Journals...if you called it a diary would it be less cool??? NOT AT ALL! 

A journal is a great place to our your thoughts, secrets, wishes and feelings. 

It's mainly private but you can choose to share it if you want. Only if you want! 

They are great to look back on and laugh, cry and just see where you were in life at that point in time. Its like a time capsule for your thoughts. 

You don't have to be a good writer or write neatly. 

There are several different kinds of journals/journaling. 

1. Absolutely Creative Journal: poems, doodles, ideas, sketches, made up languages, collages and art work. 

2. "Get the bad juju out" journal: aka therapeutic journaling.  Pour out all if your insecurities, fears and hatred. Then you are left with great thoughts inside of you. 

3. Gratitude Journal: write what you have to be grateful for. If you do this during tough times, its enjoyable and makes you feel more grateful. 

4. Decompression Journal: by writing down your days events, you can process through them and gain perspective into your days. 

You can combine all these journals into one big journal. 

Make time to write and remember you don't have to write every day. It's not meant to be a chore. It's meant to be fun, detoxing and creative. 

Encourage your friends and family to journal too.
