I’m a firm believer in journaling and expressing gratitude. I know how therapeutic expressing your emotions can be. I’ve been journing since 2017 and I’ve seen first hand how my outlook on myself and life has changed. Sometimes I struggle with fully understanding my emotions. I may know I’m upset or sad but I can’t verbalize the true source of the emotion.
Writing helps me get all the noise in my head out so I can get to the bottom of my discomfort. After a couple of minutes of writing I can trace my emotions back to something I thought I ignored days ago. I really didn’t ignore it, I just chose to bottle it up and sit on it. Getting to our true feelings will help align with Spirit on a regular bases. It’s0 also good to go back and look at your past writing. You can see what your mentality was last year, last month or even last week.
In the past year or so I’ve started being proactive with expressing gratitude. I’ve learned that being grateful opens you up to receiving the joys of the world. Choosing to focus on gratitude is about choosing to change your perception. We can’t change our reality but we can change how we view our reality. Changing your perception about life will literally change your heart and thinking. The first thing I do when I wake up is think of three things I’m grateful for. I make sure I do this before I look through my phone, talk to anyone or turn on the tv. This gets me in the right mindset before I start my day.
Growing From the Inside Out is a journal I created to help with this process. I call them Growing From the Inside Out because it’s about changing what’s on the inside so you can change what’s on the outside. The is a place to free write, express gratitude, weekly goal setting and daily intention setting. Creating daily intentions are just as important as expressing gratitude. Setting intentions help you organize your plans. It creates a rhythm for the day and helps you flow in the right direction.
