3. Reflective Journaling

Reflective journaling is a practice that you can do alone or together, to make sense of your thoughts, feelings, experiences and questions.

You can write about a positive or negative event that you experienced, what it means or meant to you, and what you may have learned from that experience. Or simply jot down the words that emerge when your pen reaches the paper and you just start to write. As if you are downloading your thoughts. If you consider these first words 'the 'easiest harvest to collect', you understand that this is also a way to get rid of them, or to park them, to clear your mind and to make space for new insights or meaning or even questions to come up.

So the practice is to just start writing and see what emerges. Maybe after some minutes (5 or 10) pause, read your words and see what they tell you. Continue the writing and then let it rest.

Making this a habit will be a profound way to raise awareness on your path, your purpose, your patterns and your challenges. If possible, find a regular moment in the day. Like when you just wake up so that you can harvest the results of the nights, the insights that came with a relaxed and /or digesting mind. Or the opposite, right before you go to sleep. So that you can leave your thoughts behind and go to sleep with space in your mind.

It is interesting to work with a diary so that you, now and then, can look back and reflect on your inner journey.
