The Four Pillars Of Journal Writing - Deepstash

The Four Pillars Of Journal Writing

  1. Why: The main goal or purpose of our practice of journaling. We need to decide whether it is just an outlet to remove mental clutter or do we seek to be more creative or at peace.
  2. How: Deciding how we need to practise journaling and how convenient and easy it would be for us. We can opt for writing on a small gadget or notebook to increase accessibility and maintain a routine.
  3. When: Most people opt out of journaling as they see it as a huge time and energy commitment, something that can be avoided if we decide using the ‘why’ and the ‘how’.
  4. Let Go Of Perfectionism: Don’t feel pressured to write the perfect journal. Make adjustments and enjoy the process to reap full benefits.
