Journaling

For as long as I can remember I’ve been journaling. Unlike most people, I’ve never kept my journals or a diary. I’d commonly write my thoughts and feelings down and then let them go. This was my way of sharing my thoughts with the universe.

If something was upsetting me, writing my feelings down and releasing them helped me move on. I’ve never been good at talking others how I feel, so I’d write them a letter. This helped me to get my feelings out with out conflict or risk of embarrassment. Then I’d rip it up and let it go, never showing it to anyone. This has always been a healing process for me. A way for me to forgive myself, forgive others.

Over the past few years, I’ve learned this can work for my goals and dreams as well. It’s more than goals and dreams though, it’s more like intentions. When you write down the intentions for your life and put it out to the universe, magic happens. This helps make it real in your heart, but once done, let it go and continue with your day.

Letting go doesn’t mean giving up or forgetting. It means don’t dwell on it. Many have said it before me and I’ll reiterate it now, ‘thoughts become things’. Although if you dwell on the intentions, you might do more harm than good. If it doesn’t happen right away, you might lose hope, question yourself. That’s counterproductive, releasing your intention, acknowledges it, without the doubt. You can do it all over again the next morning to reiterate your intention. 

So give it a try, dream big, dream hard and release it. You might be surprised at the outcome, that will lead to your best life.
