Start a journaling habit…

It takes only 5 minutes a day to start to make journal-keeping a good habit.

So if you are new to journal-keeping just find 5 minutes today to sit down
and write.

Set a timer for 5 minutes.

Start with the date.
Then write about one thing you did today or yesterday.
Write about the first thing that comes to your mind...even if it's nonsense. 

The idea is just to keep the pen moving!

Write about what you notice in your surroundings

Write about what you read lately.

Write about your kids or furbabies.

Write about the weather lately if that's all you can think about

Write about how you feel about all you wrote.

Put a shiny star on your calendar for every day that you take 5 minutes
to add something to your journal. ( I don't know why stickers are motivating
- they just are!)

If you find 5 minutes a day for 30 days, you will have started a very good
habit.

Seeing the growing number of pages helps keep you motivated.
The satisfaction of writing - the feeling of actually moving the pen across
the page - is what keeps me going back to the page day after day. 

Seeing a good habit start to form in your life - will keep you writing too.

If you would like to make this a challenge for yourself I suggest that after
you write, you post a note on the FB list saying "I wrote today"
