It’s finally May and spring (though it does feel like summer!) is in full bloom. With warm
breezes ruffling your hair, the sun shining and days getting longer and brighter, it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay inside.
When the weather warms up, it is much easier to find distractions and excuses to keep you from journaling. You may say to yourself, “How can I stay indoors journal writing on a beautiful day like this?” The answer is simple: Go outside and take your journal with you!
On-the-Go Journaling Tips
1. Pack a picnic (and your journal)
Spend a leisurely spring afternoon in the park, at the beach or on a hike. Gather a few friends, pack a delicious picnic lunch and don’t forget your journal. After you eat and before you doze off in the sun, spend a few minutes journal writing about your day.
2. Get in touch with Mother Nature
Use the beginning of a new season as inspiration for your journal. Go on a nature journaling walk in your favorite location and record everything you see, hear, smell, feel and taste. Write about and celebrate your favorite parts of springtime.
3. Hit the road
Feeling restless from spring fever? Give into it and take a short weekend road trip! Go camping, pick a new city to explore or simply be a tourist in the area where you live. Challenge yourself to do something new and out of the ordinary, then write about it in your journal when you take a break later.
4. Change it up
You don’t have to go too far from home to get a welcome change of scenery. If you normally write in your home office, try journal writing from an outdoor café or coffee shop instead.
