When a new year arrives, many people focus on resolutions. We here at NORA suggest a different approach. How about New Year’s intentions?
Rather than focusing on reaching a particular milestone, make positive intentions and pursue them consistently. This allows you to fall in love with the process rather than any specific result. And what better way to document said progress than in a journal?
Today we want to discuss a few types of journaling you should try in 2024. When the year comes to a close, you’ll be able to flip back through these pages and see the beauty of your own progress, development, and growth.
3 Types of Journaling Everyone Can Benefit From
The first type of journaling we want to suggest is fitness journaling. Also known as a training log, this important compendium details your progress on any given exercise program you pursue.
The key to fitness is steady progress over time. This is one reason fitness goals are common as New Year’s resolutions. The way to keep your promise to yourself is to detail your progress. Even something as simple as gaining one rep on weights, or a tenth of a mile faster on your run is significant. This can also help you understand if your training is working, or needs to be adjusted.
The next type of journaling to consider is evening reflection. Often called the personal diary, this one sees you recap the day’s events. When you collect your thoughts, recount your feelings, and notice the patterns therein, you may just gain a deeper understanding of yourself. Doing so can make for a more harmonious life in 2024.
The final type of journaling ties into this element of personal growth and discovery. But rather than journaling about your daily events at night, you’ll journal about your night events in the morning. What are we talking about? We’re speaking of a dream journal.
Many people believe dreams represent the subconscious mind trying to communicate with us. A person who can decipher these thoughts and integrate the lessons therein can gain a deeper understanding of themselves. This is a dream come true for many, and it all starts with writing down our dreams.
