Regardless of my greatest efforts, summer time is the season when my journal tends to gather extra mud than reminiscences. Simply this morning, I jotted down a fast recap out of some invisible obligation (“ate plenty of watermelons, swam in plenty of swimming pools, learn plenty of YA books“) in order that I may get on with the good things. Fall is approaching and instantly, my journal beckons. Its crisp, clean pages primed and prepared for all my sensible ideas… however, full disclosure? That is coming from a lady who actually simply typed “good” into thesaurus.com solely to decide on the equally uninspired, “sensible” for the earlier sentence.
It might seem my mind may benefit from one thing of a jumpstart.
Irrespective of the way you strategy your journaling follow this season, whether or not you’re new to journaling, a die-hard everyday-er, or like me, simply dipping again in after a protracted stretch, journal prompts are the kindest entry to writing. Personally, I discover that September is the proper month to realign with morning and night routines that almost certainly took a extra relaxed strategy in the summertime.
