~Start Where You Are

A Mountain Is Climbed One Step At A Time.

The #1 reason for lengthy gaps in my journal is that I’d get behind. Then I’d want to catch up before I would write my current details. Ironic, huh? While I was not writing because I wanted to catch up, I was also forfeiting to keep a current record of my life. The next problem felt colossal. Having enough TIME to write down what I missed. So I kind of gave up until I adopted my new motto—Start Where You Are. I pulled out my journal, turned over a new leaf, and started to write. Some days only a few lines, other days more. It takes 3 weeks to develop a new habit. I am there and loving it. What a great choice we have to start where we are and move forward.

(P.S. The events you missed writing about—you can jot yourself a note to put them in your Personal History. Or, were they in an email/blog? Copy and paste those pieces of your email that are important to you. File them on your computer and when you’ve got them collected, print them as a journal insert.)

Journal Prompt: SET YOUR JOURNAL WRITING GOAL. WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU? EVERYDAY? FOUR TIMES A WEEK? DECIDE ON A TIME & WRITE?
