<h1>Personal Development Plan Strategy - Journal Writing A Voyage To Your Interior.</h1>
Journal writing is one of those wonderful, simple strategies that I have incorporated into my daily life, as part of my personal development plan. Now you might be wondering what could anyone possibly be writing about, every day. I asked myself that same question when I started. Furthermore, at the time, I also felt that I did not have important or valuable things to write about. What erroneous thinking on my part! "The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium." Norbet Platt At first, when I attempted to write, my journal entries were more like grocery lists; "Today, I did..." " Today I saw..." "Tomorrow I need to..." you get the picture. With time I found the experience to be most enjoyable and rejuvenating. Soon, journaling allowed me to go in the world within and to make very interesting discoveries about self. Today, journal writing for me is an important personal development strategy that allows me to grow. It is a time for reflection, a space to ask the more important questions about self and life, and an opportunity to do a mental and emotional dump. Occasionally an outpouring of thoughts and emotions can leave you feeling relieved of stress and more peaceful. There is now medical evidence that writing has huge health benefits. Furthermore, it is a great way to unwind after the day. Early in the morning journal writing can help you set your intentions for what the day will look like and what you want to accomplish. You can follow that up with comments or observations related to whatever personal development theme you are currently working on. "Writing became such a process of discovery that I couldn't wait to get to work in the morning: I wanted to know what I was going to say." Sharon O'Brien At the end of your day, you may want to reflect on the key points of the last 18 hours or so. These are not necessarily major happenings, but rather any AHA moments/insights that came up, meaningful conversations you had, interesting things that you read and so on. I also believe it is very important that folks take a minute or two to note 5 successes for the day. It does not matter how big or small. What matters is that you start acknowledging yourself for the things you do well. Too many individuals are quick to put themselves down for the things they do not get done or the fact that what they are working on is not yet perfect. Yet, these same people ignore giving themselves credit. Recognizing your strengths and abilities are key to growing not only your self-esteem and confidence, but to creating your wealth. Writing about our day is something very important that should also be taught to children at a young age. A young child could do a drawing of his/her day and explain the drawing to you. It is not about knowing your child's secrets but rather having them see themselves through a clearer lens. Journaling at any age allows one to gain focus and clarity. I have found journaling to be a critical activity for anyone who wants to pursue the areas of personal development and self-improvement. It is about gaining a deeper understanding of self and of others. It allows you to sort out issues and solve problems, personal and business. The entire writing process provides a forum where you can learn to grow and accept not only yourself but others as well. Journaling increases the individual's level of personal responsibility. As a form of record keeping, writing provides a way to review things about yourself in order to see how far you have come. You may even recognize how your beliefs have evolved over time. Journal writing is a building block to your life story. There are many kinds of journals you can keep. The type and format you choose does not matter, as long as you start the process. You can be writing a few simple lines or several pages. Some folks choose to keep a general journal. Others will choose to keep specific journals such as dream journals, reading logs, health and healing journals, and journals of wealth creation ideas. You will find that writing can help unlock the traffic jam in your head! The very successful business people that I have come to know in network marketing have all kept journals and continue to do so. Journal writing has allowed them to identify their core desires, skills, interests, and values. They are able to break down problems and arrive at solutions. New insights are gained and new connections are made. In fact, journal writing has helped them create more wealth in their life. Whatever your chosen path may be, I highly recommend journal writing as part of your overall personal development plan. A life worth living is a life worth recording!
