Slow Living Practice of the Day: Journal
We started our 31 Days of Slowing Down with a journaling practice, and today we’ll visit it again. Like our reading practice we’ll begin by removing electronics from the equation and write with a good old pen and paper. Write about things and hobbies you love, a good book you read, your loved ones, or anything else that resonates with what brings meaning and joy to your life. Or just journal about what’s on your mind (also known as stream of consciousness journaling) or what happened in your day. Gratitude journaling is also a wonderful way to appreciate all we’re blessed with. You can also use journaling as a manifestation technique using the law of attraction. To do this, you write while thinking and feeling as though you already have everything you ever wanted. If these ideas still leave you feeling stuck, a quick search for journaling prompts for mindfulness or self discovery will give you thousands of ideas! If you’re interested in learning more about the myriad benefits of journaling, check out Vanilla Papers, she has a wonderfully informative post.
