Not consistent with your journaling habit? All that counts is journaling today.

You’re having a problem staying consistent with your new journaling habit.

You just proved you're human. You are one among millions.

"Look," my husband points to a man writing in a journal. We are waiting for our flight. "He writes in a journal like you." Except I have not written in my journal today.

Journaling is a habit that forgives.

Your journal is not anticipating how much or when you will write. It doesn't count words or sentences. It knows no time except the time you choose to write. It doesn’t look forward to tomorrow or look back on yesterday.

The only space on the page required is the space the words occupy.

The only amount of time you need to commit to journaling is the time you have now.
Did you write today? Then you’re good.

You didn’t write? Tomorrow’s another day.

I started and stopped journaling many times before I finally succeeded. Each time I had the best of intentions. I could probably pinpoint what when wrong each time. 

Ultimately, one thing made a difference.

I kept a simple formula until I saw the results. I found a formula that worked for me.

I started small on purpose. No long explanations. Just short sentences of gratitude.

No one will read what I write, maybe not even me.

Whatever you write today may not be your best journal entry, but that’s not what counts.

You journaled today; that counts.
