Creative Journal Writing

Today I finished reading "Creative Journal Writing" by Stephanie Dowrick. The universe picked the right time for me to read this amazing book. It is beautifully written. I have journaled previously in times that were dark, filled with sad times of feeling like I didn't belong. I stopped journaling when I came out of that time of my life and we had moved house. It is obviously time the universe is letting me know that I need to return to this beautiful creative endeavor.  It has allowed me to have a private place to feel safe and comfortable to put my thoughts down. I have a safe place to ask the universe the questions that I need answering, the ideas that come to me for writing, the areas I want to go back to in my life and be creative once again, without the negatives that were there once before.

Journaling is allowing me to take the steps that I need to, still in my recovery and to see that I am safe with in my own feelings and thoughts and even if my thoughts are not always positive as I need to process the negative thoughts as much as I need the positive thoughts.

For the first time in a long time I am seeing where I want my life to go and what I need to let go of, not stress over, and pay more attention to. It is time for me to spend part of each day writing what is within my heart, mind and soul to help me in my journey through life. I have come to see that I don't need to conform to what is all around me, but to be happy to have similarities to others that we connect in the jigsaw of life.

Be true to how you are, be authentic to what you believe to be true. Take the time for yourself.
