Journaling; its not so scary

Someone in Tuesday night's class asked to see some examples of awareness journal posts so I am going to post a melange of mine. I have been awareness journaling for about 8 months, and I slowly got past the point where journaling was intimidating. I actually like it now. My little disclaimer/remark is that this style works for me, but it may not work for you. I explored a bunch of styles until I found myself looking forward to the process.

Today must have slid by fairly unconsiously...I have no real frames that stick out. It wasn't a particularly good or bad day, I just kinda did it...I need to practice being present!

I am much more present/observant when walking the dogs. I noticed a great tree on Foss HIll that I must have walked by 1,000 times.

Picked up Lily from groomer. She was so cute. She always makes me smile!

When I feel like napping, I should try yoga first! Napping saps my vitality.

Big smile when seeing Anthony win challenge on Project Runway. Its silly, but it is just thrilling to watch pure excitement; even from a distance.

When Phoebe left I lay on my bed like a rag doll which was pretty unfulfilling. Called mom back & casually mentioned kickboxing. Did about 15 mins of kickboxing tape, made sound effects, defeated the funk.

Hope that scratched any voyeuristic itches that y'all might have as well as demystify the journaling process.

As I typed this up, I was reminded of a children's book called Diary of a Wombat. I couldn't find a great video, but since I wanted to share it, you can listen to this nice grandfather read the book.
