Bonus: 30-Day Journal Challenge (Writing Prompts to Get Started)

Let the Verse Flow: Personal Growth Thru a Creative Lens

So you've decided to journal or resume a journaling practice. You may be a beginner or an old pro, but you're finding yourself in need of some inspiration. Perhaps some structure and tools to get your journaling off the ground. Why do a 30-day challenge? Because writing in a journal is a practice and practices are built on habits. We need to make time and space for our journaling, built with daily (or near-daily) practice.

These next 30 days aren't meant to box you in or make you feel like journaling is a regime or chore. Let's set an intention that is more positive, and powerful, than that.

In this episode, I will:

• Discuss the practical logistics of journaling (tools, time/space, mindset)
• Help you set an intention for your journaling, a simple goal that will guide your first 30 days of writing
• Week one: Morning Pages or simple writing prompts
• Week two: Gratitude
• Week three: Self-Awareness/Personal Discovery
• Week four: Processing Emotions & Observing Changes
• Help you reflect on what you’ve learned about yourself and how to continue journaling in the future

Welcome to my reflections from the bright side of the beat.

After today's episode, I'll be taking a short break from the podcast over the holidays. I'll be back in the new year, on January 1, with the first episode of season three, and I have some surprises in store for you. It's time to mix things up with some famous and timeless verses. We'll start with a Khalil Gibran quote and the topic of overthinking in the first season three episode. Look for it on January 1st!

Until then, I hope you share the holidays with the people y
