Keep a journal
ROBIN SHARMA, TOI Crest May 27, 2010, 12.00am IST
Write down your thoughts ...
Maintaining a daily journal is one of the best personal growth
initiatives you will ever take. Writing down your daily experiences
along with the lessons you have drawn from them will make you wiser with
each passing day.
You will develop self-awareness and make fewer
mistakes. And keeping a journal will help clarify your intentions so
that you remain focussed on the things that truly count.
Writing in a journal offers you the opportunity to have regular
one-on-one conversations with yourself. It forces you to do some deep
thinking in a world where deep thinking is a thing of the past. It will
also make you a clearer thinker and help you live in a more intentional
and enlightened way.
In addition, it provides a central place
where you can record your insights on important issues, note key success
strategies that have worked for you and commit to all those things you
know are important to achieve for a high-quality professional, personal
and spiritual life. And your personal journal gives you a private place
to flex your imagination and define your dreams.
A journal is not
a diary. A diary is a place where you record events while a journal is a
place where you analyse and evaluate them. Keeping a journal encourages
you to consider what you do, why you do it and what you have learned
from all you have done. And writing in a journal promotes personal
growth and wisdom by giving you a forum to study, and then leverage,
your past for greater success in your future. Medical researchers have
even found that writing in a private journal for as little time as 15
minutes a day can improve health, functioning of your immune system and
your overall attitude.
Remember, if your life is worth thinking about, it is worth writing about.
