Hey guys! So i just wanted to write a little about journaling, so this is something pretty new to me but I've been doing it for almost month. I got a leather journal that i had been wanting for Christmas from my aunt and also got a nice pen i felt like you needed a fancy pen to journal lol that's my thought process. So journaling i always thought i wanted to do it but never thought about but watching and reading up on it and i thought okay this could actually help. I sometimes once in a while like everyone else get a little depressed or just not feeling the best at times and your thoughts consume you if someone says they don't lies lol its normal. So i started writing in my journal on December 25th 2015 and from that point on honestly I've felt pretty good with myself but those moments still happen not nearly as much. I'm one of those people that if i start thinking negative or way to much about something i just tell myself stop! i don't think about it anymore. Just a little more of a back story growing up until i was 19 i was painfully shy like i hated talking to anyone i didn't know and would feel anxiety inside thought of having to talk to stranger really made me nervous. I got over this once i moved to Chicago for school and in Chicago most of the people talk to everyone plus i had to get around the city i wasn't going to get anywhere if i didn't ask. I remember one time i legitimately got lost for 3 hours and i didn't want to ask anymore because i was so freaked out. I started to get better with talking to strangers and started thinking okay i need to get out of this because i was an extreme introvert. Simple things like starting a conversation with someone i did not know was a big step for me so after living out there for about a year i would talk to people and actually act like myself and not worry about being judged by everyone because that was really one of my big things i was so freaked out that even if i was with friends and they wanted to just have fun i thought everyone around me was going to judge me but that was so silly to think when i should of just acted like myself and not worried. Lets skip forward to 4 years later i don't mind talking to people doesn't bother me at all, i don't feel as anxious I'm still introverted since that just the type of person i am I've improved so much.Getting back to journaling and how this has helped me i don't start writing to really late at night probably 12-1 am that's just my peaceful time every ones asleep in the house and i can just write uninterrupted. I usually write about 3 pages night before i start falling asleep LOL! Along with writing listening to music is also a great way to relax and listen to music one of my favorites is Olivver the Kid - The boy who cried wolf. This album is amazing and personally for me just really makes me feel relaxed and like i can really start to step out of my comfort zone and just me :) which is a great feeling and i would highly recommend him every ones gonna have their own take way but he is a great artist with amazing powerful lyrics! One last thing that i always like to include in my journaling is quotes recently I've been a huge fan of looking for really inspirational ones that speaks to me. My all time favorite is " It's your road, and yours alone other may walk with you but, no one can walk it for you" -Rumi. That's all for tonight's post i challenge you guys to really get a pen a paper you don't have to have a fancy journal just a notebook the feeling of writing it relieves so much and to see what you've wrote out in-front of you.
Everyone have an awesome night :)
