The number one self improvement tool

Have you ever noticed in your life that sometimes you grow more than other times?  This week's blog is all about the number one tool for personal growth - your journal.

Thinking back to the times when I had big changes in my life, I can't imagine making it through without writing my thoughts, feelings, and concerns on paper.  The act liberates your brain to think about solutions, different perspective, and emotions once you know you have your trusty thoughts down in your notebook.

Journalling has helped me train for marathons, change careers, change how I felt day to day (burnt-out to hopeful), among countless other things.

If you are looking to gain some momentum, make a change, or get clarity on your life then you need to up your self-reflection and journaling game.

So what are some important questions to yourself in your journalling practice?  Here are a few of my favorite:

• What went really well today/this week, and why?
• What went really wrong today/this week, and why?
• What am I excited about in my life today/this week, and why?
• What do I want out of my life right now?
• Am I living my truth now?  Why or why not?  
• What are three things I can do to live even more into my truth?

These questions have served me well over the years, and maybe they can serve you too.  If you have any questions you like to reflect on regularly, post them below because I would love to hear about what you do!
