Early Morning Journaling

This morning I awakened early and discovered a glorious sight; snow cascading from the skies, blanketing the ground with its soft powder. A wave of inspiration and serenity washed over me. I found a pen and my notebook, sat by the window and starting writing in my morning journal. A practice I have long since abandoned.

Early morning journaling is a stream of consciousness, a time when we can access the deeper part of our souls. Each morning there is a space of time when we are half asleep and half awake, a time when we are not fully conscious. During these moments, we have access to our subconscious mind, our inner thoughts. But like snow on the ground, this precious moment will soon melt away. Listening to our tender morning musings allows us to tap into our subconscious, the complex part of ourselves that encourages us to transform into the beautiful beings we are meant to become.

I start my morning by writing down any recollection I have of  my dreams. This exercise helps us develop a deeper understanding of our inner selves.

Then I move on to writing five things I am grateful for from yesterday. Usually our minds tend to focus on everything that is not going well. By taking the time to appreciate what is going good in our lives, brings a sense of clarity to our souls.

Next, I write a page or two of whatever comes to mind. Don't be discouraged if what you are writing sounds negative, remember this is your private journal and nobody else will be reading it. When we write down our negative emotions, we are releasing repressed feelings that would otherwise stand in our way to bringing out the best part of ourselves. By doing this we are moving towards becoming the person we are meant to be, living the life we are truly meant to live.
