How to Journal in 10 Simple Steps
1. Keep it Simple
Journaling is simple. You get some paper and a pen, you write a few pages about what’s going on. You do it again tomorrow. And the next day.
If you start thinking you’re doing it wrong, or you don’t have the perfect journal, or you don’t know what to write about… take a breath and get back to basics.
Words, on a page. It’s really that simple.
2. Keep it Private
Don’t share your journal and keep it out of reach. Your journaling privacy is essential to the process.
Your journal is a safe place for you to explore whatever is on your mind without worrying about how it will affect anyone else.

Is Journaling for You?
You have questions and I have answers! You may be wondering if journaling can really improve your quality of life and more. Some questions I often hear are:
- Why should I journal?
- Will it be worth the effort?
- What’s it really going to do for me?
I’ll tell you what I’ve discovered in more than 30 years of journaling.
