“Whatever it is that you write, putting words on the page is a form of therapy that doesn’t cost a dime’"- Diana Raab

I again want to reference Hal Elrod’s Book, The Miracle Morning, and the importance of journaling and incorporating it into your daily routine. I began journaling everyday only after I read his book. I recommend you read it because it’s helped me so much in self growth and I believe it will help you to.

Hal explains why this is so important:
By getting your thoughts out of your head, and putting them in writing, you gain valuable insights you'd otherwise never see. Journaling enables you to document your insights, ideas, breakthroughs, realizations, successes, and lessons learned, as well as any areas of opportunity, personal growth, or improvement.

It’s ultimately up to you when you want to set time aside to do this. It can take about 5-10 minutes or as long as you’d like.

The time of the day you do it is not as important as long as it’s done as a part of routine and you stick with it. I typically do my journaling in the afternoon during my lunch time. This gives me time to reflect on my morning, what I have accomplished, what my mood is and what I look forward to the rest of the day.

​Here are 3 simple tips that Hal offers to get started:

It takes me about 10 minutes a day. If I skip a day, I’ll go back and do a quick 5 minute summary of what I experienced on that missed day. I highly recommend you take on this habit. Most high achievers and successful entrepreneurs do it and I usually follow in their footsteps.
