I really liked the experience of
daily writing in my journal notebook.
When I was a child I had a diary in which it felt very personal. This notebook
made me remember when had done it previously. Without a doubt, served me this
exercises because I could see my progress in writing in just ten minutes,
although sometimes I wanted to continue writing.
Occasionally I checked dates in
which had already written to remember what I had done that day and I
transported to that moment, that instant and could perfectly well compare my
statements during days or weeks. On the other hand, I saw the compass and observed
in a manner more summarized what I wrote that day, as it was my mental,
emotional, physical and religious status. It helped me to meditate so much, and
to reflect on what had happened to me recently and in way of thinking. Also,
for me, this is something very private because in the same way helped me to
evaluate myself and analyze many things, this is why I find it so personal. So
I'd like to continue writing for my own benefit, although this activity is not
practiced in class already.
I think that people should practice
this type of exercise, does not take much time, because you only need a paper,
a pencil, and the desire to write. Your
mind can manifest and you could write whatever you want; dreams, thoughts,
things that you wish to occur, experiences, even things with no sense and the
facts more important that happened that day. Without a doubt, was a great experience
for me, I liked and it was very useful because this lead me to think and internalized
so many things and information in that lapse of time. If you have not yet tried
this exercise, I invite you to try it and see the production which can be for
your own benefit.
I'm happy that you had a very good experience with the journey journal too. In my case, I found characteristics of mine that I didn;t realize I had. For example, and this is in my post too, in everyday writing I found that I tend to always be angry or unhappy with somethings which happened that day, so that really made me open my eyes to say: "wait, I can't continue being like this anymore, I need to see the good point about my days". I hope that you could find aspects of you that you can change, because as part of our internal journey there are moments like this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually thinking of writing a slightly bigger notebook so I can keep writing every day. Every now and then I kind of miss writing for 10 minutes straight without really thinking about it. Like you said, it definitely helps recall what you've done on certain days and how you felt, so you can grow from it and think about it.
ReplyDeleteIt became second nature to me. Almost like I was in another mind state just putting that pen to the test.
ReplyDeletei liked the experience too
ReplyDeletebut i have to say that at the beginning its was kinda weird lol
Sometimes it seems that we write by instinct. I wasn't used to writing though so it was very hard for me to write 300 words or more for every post.
