An Introduction to Mindful Journaling
There are many benefits to journaling, including facilitating self-discovery, and being better
connected to the way you think and feel. Journaling can make it easier for you to recognize
recurring patterns in your thinking and reframe negative thought processes into more positive ones.
Start by finding a quiet place that feels comfortable for you and where you won’t be distracted.
Consistency is key, so pick a time of the day you can stick to. Journaling at this same time every day
will help you form the habit. As well, make it as easy as possible to get started by keeping your tools
ready, whether it’s a book and pen or your laptop.
To get the most out of your mindful journaling experience, try to suspend any internal judgment and
be honest with yourself and how you feel. Remember that your journal is just for you. You can only be
truly honest if you’re writing for no one but yourself. So, do what feels right for you—there is no
formula or structure that you need to follow to make your journaling a success.
