JOURNALING

Journaling is a practice in which we record our inner thoughts, feelings and experiences in a diary or a journal.

Journaling is an interactive way with self to gain a greater understanding of ‘ WHO I AM’ !!

Everything you journal is thoughts and feelings that are released outwardly, allowing self to gain a greater understanding with your inner thoughts.

Journaling allows us to clarify our personal thoughts and feelings, thereby gaining incredible and valuable self knowledge.

Journaling provides the means of probing feelings and emotions as they affect behavior. Since business is constructed of relationships, success or failure often has more to do with attitudes and beliefs.

Dale Carnegie states: “When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.” That goes for all of us.

In relations to business, “an employee who challenges a supervisor at every possible turn may have their own issues or may simply be reacting to the supervisor. Journaling allows the supervisor to probe whether a different approach would be helpful with a troublesome employee. Or what may become clear by journaling is the possibility that the attitude is ingrained in his or her own personality in which case a change in the supervisor’s outlook may need an overhaul in order to garner a different reaction from the employee.

Journaling, taking a more intimate look at ourselves, allows us to see attitudes and beliefs, and to make changes if necessary to find different avenues of approaching challenges. When things don’t go as expected or desired, journaling allows each step to be dissected, helping to determine where the problems lie and what it will take to reach the solution.”1

Journaling about traumatic events helps one process them by fully exploring and releasing the emotions involved, therefore gaining greater clarity around that event.
