I’ve been away from journal writing for a while. I’ve had other things on my mind that made scribbling random thoughts in a Moleskine seem…trivial. Things that make me nervous with worry about what life has in store for me in the coming months.
But this past birthday, I promised myself that I would get back to writing. So, I picked myself up a fresh new Moleskine while a buddy of mine bought me a cool fountain pen and ink as a gift. I now had the tools to write all that was on my mind within the blank pages of this journal. And I have.
It has felt good to write down what I’m thinking. From worries about finding work, to an idea to a murder mystery, to a silly quote I heard on the street. It has help me focus on what I need to do and letting me think about how I can go about my tasks in a positive matter. Writing is therapeutic.
What helps you relax?
