When you say “I don’t know what to write about” or “I don’t have anything to say” this really makes your inner critic/internal editor a very happy camper. I can just hear him/her/it saying, “Sweet success! No creative, expressive, exploring today; staying stuck is the bestest of ways!” So here are some journaling jump starters from the weekly Journaling Therapy Tips newsletter you can get by signing up here.
#75 The Miracle Worker
Inspiration comes in the strangest ways, when we are not trying to force the issue. An AARP commercial about what I want to be when I grow up prompted this week’s tip. We lose track of our dreams and goals and passions and Journaling helps in their retrieval.
~~Bring your Inner Kid into the conversation and tell your Journal, "When I grow up, I wanna..." ~~~

Who’s your Inner Coach? Had a Journaling conversation with him/her lately, ever?

#77 Without You
I’ve recently discovered my pop belter voice and am redoing my ‘A Baby Boomer’s Christmas’ album in a 70s Rock n’ Roll style. That musical genre has the most gorgeously lyrics that make for great awesome journaling prompts.
No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know...
And what should he/she/they know? Maybe Harry Nilsson can give your Journal some words.
