If You Don’t Want A Personal Coach, At Least Keep A Journal

Notice that everyone is recommending  personal coaching these days?  It’s really the “in thing”.  However, for some of you, for one reason or another, you choose not to play this game.  Maybe just not for now, or maybe never.

However, you’re probably doing courses, reading a stack of personal or professional development books, getting regular emails from your favourite “gurus”, all providing good, useful information and new paradigms and insights.

So start keeping a journal, to bring out those inner conversations that you have between you and yourself, and you and the words of others.

Write down your reactions to various messages.

Write down your successes but also your struggles, and analyse them, now or later.

Write down your aspirations and your obstacles.

Write down your priorities – even things as banal as a “to do” list if you want.

Write down your goals – take the time to get clear about what you really want to achieve.

Write down your appreciation for your life – be aware that 99% of the people in this world dream to have a life like yours, even with the problems and dramas.

Write about your relationship with yourself – the interaction between your fears and your hopes, how you support or sabotage your dreams.  Allow the inner voices to be heard.  The playful child, the scared child, the pouty teenager, the cool adult, the angelic higher self.  Let them speak as needed, in relation to various situations in your life.

Write about your relationship with others – particularly in reference to any new emotional habits you’re trying to establish.

Keeping a journal can help to clarify, release, envision, empower your attention and focus.
