Junk Journaling: Your Art as Healing Tool

 

Hi! Thank you for being here, for reading, and for your interest!

 

When I first decided on the subject for this article I was upper excited. I felt motivated to share my thoughts, feelings, and experiences about the topic.

And then....for days, I could not bring the words to paper. They were in my head but the transfer onto paper just didn’t happen. I am not new to writing articles but this felt different to me. So I walked away from it and left my notes sitting in my desk drawer thinking that there must be a reason for it all. I told myself that I just needed to let everything unfold in its own time and trust that it would.

I realized then, that, with everything that was going on in my life, I felt overwhelmed. I had so many things happening all at once, I just could not untangle the strings of my thoughts.

So I anchored on to what I knew I needed to do to walk through the mental and emotional mud so that I could come out on the other side.

Looking back at last week - all I felt was overwhelmed. Today, the overwhelm has vanished from my mind, and I know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. And the best part of it all is that, once again, I was able to reaffirm, that I have this tremendous healing tool in my healing toolbox - Junk Journaling!

Junk journaling provides a platform where you can set yourself free to create without judgment, and without rules. It is where you can fully embrace the process and not care one bit about the outcome.

Your junk journal is a safe place where every single part of who you are belongs, where you can process experiences and stay in the present moment and not get lost in “ifs and buts”. It’s where you can permit yourself to rediscover your strength and your authentic self. It’s where you can connect with your calm self and find respite from daily stress and upsets.

Make the art of Junk Journaling part of your transformational healing journey experience.
