"This is such a pretty journal, I hate to mess it up.""Morning pages are awesome, but I can't sustain that as a practice.""I would love to start a bullet journal, but I don't know the process.""I haven't finished the journals I've started, I can't start another one."Okay, enough. Just stop it.
Listen, you probably
know the benefits of journaling (spoiler alert: reduced stress, increased well-being, goal attainment, distance from negative thoughts, self-reflection and growth, etc., etc.). You likely buy into the idea of journaling if you're even reading this workshop description. So, let's focus on overcoming the common barriers to journaling and address the challenges perfectionism and our inner-critics throw our way by creating an Imperfect Journal ... then starting to use it
imperfectly.
Three Key Takeaways:- We'll discuss the many, MANY types of journals and what we like about each (I'll even show some of mine, from a distance of course to protect my privacy)
- You'll create an imperfect journal (feel free to bring your favorite craft supplies; otherwise, freely use the ones provided)
- I'll show you how to set your Imperfect Journal up mindfully to remind yourself why you are choosing to journal this way and how to best journal this way
