Did you know that there have been studies showing that the average person has more than 6,000 thoughts a day? That's a lot of thinking!

We want to partner with you in discovering new ways to process and work through our thoughts for a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Today, our focus is the tool of journaling. This is NOT a one size fits all practice. There are endless ways to to explore to find what works for you!

The Practice of the Week

In an effort to provide some journaling options, we have selected two articles this week.

First, we have Discover 8 Journaling Techniques for Better Mental Health from Psychology Today where we get a taste of different methods we can explore.

Then in How to Start a Journal: 6 Tips from Therapists to Get Started, we get new, concise ideas on setting yourself up to make journaling work for you.

There is no right or wrong way to journal. This is yours to discover, explore and create for you.

The Idea of the Week

For those of us on the go, we found a quick podcast on the topic titled, The Power of Journaling.

In this episode, you’ll discover—

How journaling changes what you notice day-to-day
Why even people who don’t like writing should journal
The difference journaling for just 15 minutes can make in your day
How it helps boost one of the most important skills of a leader

For inspiration purposes, if needed, here are some ideas that could get the ball rolling.
