Journaling for Inspiration

 

Been feeling out of sorts in my life lately, so I'm going to try my hand at journalling for the first time in a long time. I picked up several journal books this at the bookstore this weekend. Included above are: You Can Heal Your Life, by Louise L. Hay; Attitudes of Gratitude (a guided journal,) by M.J. Ryan, The Woman's Book of Confidence (also a guided journal,) by Sue Patton Thoele, Wreck This Journal, by Keri Smith, and some of the index cards I made containing some of my favorite inspirational quotes.

I began wrecking the journal yesterday by cracking its spine. You have no idea how hard that is for a bookworm to do. I was raised to love books, and never to abuse them. I do have to say, however, it felt positively liberating to crack the spine. I think it has forgiven me, though. I hope it forgives me for the rest of the things I'm supposed to do to it. A word to the wise, never crack a book's spine in a bookstore. They're not prepared for that. In case you're wondering, I had already purchased the book.

Can't wait to see what I learn from the other journals!

  1. Sounds like a great beginning of a journey for you!

    I did the Wreck this Journal adventure last year when Jamie Ridler did it as a book club. It was quite freeing and it taught me stuff about myself.

    Good luck!
