The Daily Journaling

Journaling is the Gate for Spiritual Growth, Affirmation and Connections

Spirituality is a broad concept with many perspectives. It includes a sense of connection to something bigger with more influence, and it involves a quest of search for meaning and sense life. The spiritual experience is described as sacred or transcendent or simply a deep sense of aliveness and interconnectedness.

The definition of spiritual life varies from one to another and may change throughout your life, adapting to your own experiences and relationships. For some, is intricately linked to their association with a church, temple, mosque, or synagogue; where they are guide to search for answers or guided practices. And for others, it is a prayer or finds comfort in a personal relationship with God or a higher power. HOWERVER, the overarching umbrella is to seek meaning through their connections and develop a sense of purpose.

Journaling is, often overlooked, contemplative practice that can help you become more aware of your inner life and feel more connected to your experience and the world around you. Studies show that writing during difficult times may help you find meaning in life’s challenges and become more resilient in the face of obstacles.

Journaling has to be outside the documentation of daily events and shall be extended to deepen the understanding beyond the events. In healthy Journaling, the daily event as the starting point then we shall deepen our understanding beyond the superficial shell of what happen.

For every recorded event or action in your journal you shall ask

• Am I a good person?

• What is the meaning of this event?

• What is the connection to the world around me?

• Does this event happen for a reason?

• How can I live my life in the best way possible?

Pick up a pen (or keyboard) and start journaling for:

1. Personal and spiritual growth – Explore what you did and how you can do it better.

2. Healing the past - If you are angry or sad, get out all your feelings. Just get it out and then explore the ability to learn how to do it differently and transform.

3. Set goals and affirmations - Write your goals down in the present tense: "I am in the best shape of my life," and See the difference? This affirmation will be making the best.

4. Gratitude - Shift your vibration and feel inspired. Write down all the things as I am grateful for …. It shifts my entire mood and vibe from negative to positive.

5. Being present – No cell phones, no distractions. Open your Heart and your Self up to this moment and see what comes. No sitting in front of the TV or computer. It's not going to happen.

6. Inner guidance & connection to spirit - Explore your Higher Self and connection to spirit. Let your creativity, inspiration, and ideas flow through automatic writing, giving you real guidance about your path and higher purpose.

7. Dream recall - many people don't remember their dreams. Start writing your dreams down first thing when you wake up and this will start to build your dream recall. Dreams contain messages, signs and synchronicities and recording them is a powerful practice.

If you don't know what to write, well, "WRITE anything." Write about your life, things that are bothering you, and your goals and intentions for the future. Please remember that one of the most powerful things that you can do is write about what you are grateful for.
