• Journal-writing as simply an exercise in “checking in” with ourselves, instead of waiting for someone to ask, and giving our automatic answer.
• Tracking gratefulness,
• Keeping lists; including to-do’s, and long-term “bucket lists”,
• Dialoguing with people, places, things, and ideas (real or imaginary; past, present or future!)
• Recording milestones and accomplishments,
• You can always just S.W.Y.P.E.!
• …and much, much more!

Exclusive Offer for JournalTalk Listeners:  For a limited time, Nathan is offering JournalTalk listeners a full week of customized journal-writing exercises, tailored for their unique concern or situation. Get details here. (JournalTalk, Episode #64, December 15, 2015)

Have I got a story for you.

In the previous episode, I introduced the concept of “fantasy journaling” — writing in a private diary, about events that never actually took place, as if they had.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend, “Janet-from-another-Planet” as I share about the most interesting and extreme version of fantasy journaling I could find: A stay-at-home housewife and mom of four sons is writing letters to her high-school sweetheart, in order to keep in touch, and to help her cope with an oppressive marriage.  Only, she never sends the sends the letters; she burns them every week.

If you need a little inspiration for keeping a journal, this might be the most haunting and bizarre example. Yet it demonstrates just how journal-keeping can serve as a ladder to help elevate people from being stuck in their circumstances. (JournalTalk, Episode #77, July 6, 2016)
