Journaling on a daily basis helps boost creative thinking.
It allows us to access hidden recesses and expand the boundaries of our minds.
It promotes clarity and fosters insight as we allow our imagination to take flight.
It helps us to assign positive meaning to what life metes out.
It improves our ability to “think outside the box” and come up with creative solutions.
Judy Willis MD, a neurologist, and former classroom teacher explains, “The practice of writing can enhance the brain’s intake, processing, retaining, and retrieving of information… it promotes the brain’s attentive focus … boosts long-term memory, illuminates patterns, gives the brain time for reflection, and when well-guided, is a source of conceptual development and stimulus of the brain’s highest cognition.”
To read more about the benefits of this powerful practice:
Best of all, starting a morning journal practice is simple:
- Find a pen or pencil.
- Grab a notebook or sheet of paper.
- Write, draw, doodle, reflect, reminisce, explore, etc.
It’s your boat to float!
Aah . . . that’s better!
