How to Use Journaling to Track Personal and Business Growth

Last Saturday and for the first time ever, I spent an entire afternoon at an online journaling workshop. 

It lasted a whopping 4 hours and boy did it go by in a flash!

Journaling is a super personal practice that has various benefits ranging from self-reflection to improved mental health, stress reduction and enhanced self-awareness.

There are different types of journals: gratitude journals, bullet journals, dream journals and reflective journals.

Me? I dig gratitude journals the best. 

This time I just used simple content prompts in a google doc. 

So why do I do it? 

Simply put for intentional goal setting, creativity, problem-solving or tracking my own personal and business growth.

There are online and physical handwritten journals. You can even find journaling platforms or apps out there.

Online journals are convenient and user-friendly especially for non-professional writers like me.

At first I must say it was a tad challenging to time block and sit down and do it. But it could gradually become part of my routine like brushing my teeth.

I wholeheartedly encourage you to give journaling a try and share your feedback with your close circle.

As it's still the top end of the new year and an optimal time for goal setting I’ve created a practical worksheet with all the content prompts for you to use.
