Regardless of my finest efforts, summer time is the season when my journal tends to gather extra mud than recollections. Simply this morning, I jotted down a fast recap out of some invisible obligation (“ate numerous watermelons, swam in numerous swimming pools, learn numerous YA books“) in order that I may get on with the great things. Fall is approaching and instantly, my journal beckons. Its crisp, clean pages primed and prepared for all my good ideas… however, full disclosure? That is coming from a lady who actually simply typed “sensible” into thesaurus.com solely to decide on the equally uninspired, “good” for the earlier sentence.
It could seem my mind may gain advantage from one thing of a jumpstart.
Regardless of the way you method your journaling apply this season, whether or not you’re new to journaling, a die-hard everyday-er, or like me, simply dipping again in after an extended stretch, journal prompts are the kindest entry to writing. Personally, I discover that September is the proper month to realign with morning and night routines that almost definitely took a extra relaxed method in the summertime.
