How Journaling Every Day Changed My Life & Art

I want to share with you one of the things I do every day (to be honest it might be 5 days a week :P) that has changed my life...

And here it is ~ journaling. Each morning I put aside 10 to 15 minutes to write in my journal. I write about my fears, my frustrations, my goals, the things I'm grateful for, Bible verses, lessons I've learned, commitments I want to make, little moments I don't want to forget, my failures, and my accomplishments...

Through journaling I've found that everything in my life is clearer. I can see where I want to go. I have a clear vision of my goals and my purpose. I feel more positive and confident. And I learn more about who I am...

I've seen the impact journaling has had on my days. Journaling in the morning starts my day off with positivity and focus. When I'm feeling down, journaling immediately lifts me up. It gets me ready for what I need to accomplish and helps inspire me to paint...

I also have been journaling when I paint! It really helps with my creative process and inspiration. As I paint, I journal about what I feel and what I think of ~ which in turn inspires the stories and titles of my art. ♡

Do you journal? Comment below and tell me about it! If you don't journal, would you consider starting?
