[Ep 146] Introduction to Journaling: Creating Your Own Journaling Routine

Journal Gently: Helping Introverted Women Find Healing After Grief, Hurt, and Trauma

When I say the word journal, the image that might very well pop into your mind is that of a woman sitting with a notebook at a quiet desk, writing for 20 or 30 minutes about her deepest thoughts and fears.

Or maybe you think back to your teenage self, when you recorded the day’s events and poured out your heart on paper.

Or your grandmother, keeping a diary of the prices of eggs and what birthday cards she sent out.

The truth is, journaling takes a lot of different forms, and I believe it’s important enough for everyone to practice it in some way.

So today, I’m going to give you a crash course in journaling—including what it is, why it’s important, and some of the benefits of journaling—along with some things to consider as you create your own journaling routine. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
