There are various purposes for journal writing: meditation and spiritual, dream, travel, nutrition, recipes, and creative writing to name a few. First decide what type of journal you want to create. Select a journal that you feel comfortable with, whether it is fancy leather or an ordinary spiral notebook. Then find some place quiet to tune into your own thoughts.

Ideas on what to write about:

Discuss an interesting quote or a poem you've read

Try to recall your dream from the previous night

Write about your childhood

Critique someone else's writing

Give a review of a movie or book you've seen or read

Describe a huge event in your life like marriage, birth, or death

Maintaining the Journal

Date each entry

Never throw out your journal entries

Keep it with you at all times
