January is a month that always brings a sigh of relief to my lips. The Holidays are over and it is back to business.
Plus, one benefit I love about January is I always buy a new journal. I love shopping for journals. It is so exciting to touch each one and see what is available each new year. Do you buy a new journal each year? Or do you purchase them as you need them?
Day One: Share with your journal the New Year resolutions you have set for this year. Remember to be realistic. Use numbers to help your goals seem more attainable.
Day Two: Share your New Year's Eve and New Year's Day plans with your journal.
Who are you spending it with? Where will you go? What will you do? Why have you decided to do these things this year?
Day Three: Why not have some fun and set some journaling goals for yourself. Check out some journaling classes or learn to make your own homemade journals.
Day Four: Share with your journal what the weather is like where you are on this day. How much snow is on the ground. Or do you live in a warmer climate?
Day Five: Document the current fashion trends of this new year.
Day Six: Share some things special about your family and what you are thankful for this year.
Day Seven: Why not try naming or selecting a topic for one of your journals this year. Or add a table of contents to your journals to make it easier to find previous entries.
Day Eight: List some current events that are currently impacting those around you. What is the price of gas? How much does the car of your dream cost?
Day Nine: Plan your dream vacation. Or design your dream house on the pages of this journal.
Day Ten: Include some photos or pictures in your journal. Write about how they have impacted your life. Or share how your chose these pictures for your journal. Than write about the photos, who, what, where, why and when.
Get your thinking caps on... Don't just answer yes or no to the above prompts. Elaborate, let the words flow and fill up those pages as you get off to a great start journaling in 2007.
