“The very centre of your heart is where life begins - the most beautiful place on earth.”
― RUMI

“[Why write?]
It’s being able to look at my stack of weathered notebooks and know that I’ve created something, just for the sake of it. For the sake of remembering that I am a human and therefore can create. And that when faced with the choice to either create or not create â€� I went forth and created.”
― Matthew Trinetti

“. . . install a tracking system--free of judgment or guilt--that you use just to record how you're doing, on a constant basis. In Tibetan this tracking system is known as tundruk, or "six times a day;" we call it a six-time book. If you follow this system, you'll get results.”
― Geshe Michael Roach, Lama Christie McNally, Michael Gordon

“Only when she has re-created in ink upon parchment what she saw does she fully understand it. Visions are not complete until they have been set down and stepped away from, turned this way and that in the hand.”
― Lauren Groff, Matrix

“The purpose of walking meditation is walking meditation itself. Going is important, not arriving.â€� The same is true for Creativity 1A. The same is true for journal writing. When you are in the flow of creation, you are here—going, walking, writing, but always here. The reason so many people block themselves from writing, from creating, is that they are not here. They have a head full of blueprints for the goal, they have elaborate outlines of how to get there, but they have never taken a conscious walk from their bedroom to their bathroom.”
― Burghild Nina Holzer, A Walk Between Heaven and Earth: A Personal Journal on Writing and the Creative Process

“Journaling is the perfect way to shift your emotions immediately and process your feelings without judgment, so you don't get stuck in unpleasant experiences.”
― Kristen Butler, 3 Minute Positivity Journal: Boost your Mood. Train Your Mind. Change Your Life.

“The secret of keeping a journal is seeing it as a draft, a stepping-stone, a process.”
― Alexandra Johnson, Leaving a Trace: On Keeping a Journal

“To be honest, I wasn’t so sure about it at the beginning. Because it contains special things, but, if I will be a writer, I should publish it, and I have always wanted to write my memoirs.”
― Cihan SerdaroÄŸlu, The Journal of A Man: Real Notes with Real Dates

“What questions are you pondering about the you you say you are? When you read your questions aloud, what themes do you hear? What emotion do you feel and where do you feel it most in your body?”
― Melonie B. Garrett

“Flying starts with a dream.”
― Lia Ocampo, I Love Flying: Inspirational Journal for your Flying and Travel Adventures

“You don’t care about those first three pages; those you will throw out, those you needed to write to get to that fourth page, to get to that one long paragraph that was what you had in mind when you started, only you didn’t know that, couldn’t know that, until you got to it.”
― Anne Lamott

“Whether we are writing fiction or nonfiction, journaling or writing for publication, writing itself is an inherently therapeutic activity. Simply to line up words one after another upon a page is to create some order where it did not exist, to give a recognizable shape to the chaos of our lives. Writing cannot bring our loved ones back, but it can sometimes fix them in our fleeting memories a s they were in life, and it can always help us make it through the night.”
― Lee Smith

“Document your dreams.
Sketch that shape you saw.
Write those lyrics before they fade out.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, The Oneironaut’s Diary

“[When] I've been neglecting writing in my journal, usually this kind of avoidance is a sign I need to actually face the page.

A solid self-leadership check-in: With loving awareness I ask myself:
- What am I hiding from myself?
- What am I holding on to?
- Who am I being invited to become?”
― Benjamin Brown

“A journal is a self-empowering, self-realizing map we create for ourselves to better our lives.”
― Andrew Pacholyk, Lead Us To A Place: Your Spiritual Journey Through Life's Seasons

― HUMAIRA SYED, 55 Habits for Mindset Mastery: A Perfect Collection of Everyday Simple HABITS to Change Your Life Forever

“Recounting our experiences gives us mastery over them. Whether in the
context of psychotherapy, talking to an AA sponsor, confessing to a
priest, confiding in a friend, or writing in a journal, our honest
disclosure brings our behavior into relief, allowing us in some cases to
see it for the first time. This is especially true for behaviors that involve
a level of automaticity outside of conscious awareness.”
― Anna Lembke, Dopamine Nation: Finding Balance in the Age of Indulgence

“It was always intimidating starting a new journal. So much pressure to make everything perfect from the start. It was a relief each time she made her first mistake or two and realized that her journal was more gracious and forgiving toward her than she was toward herself.”
― Alana Terry, What Dreams May Come

“Contemplation cultivates an inner connection, an awareness of yourself.
I don’t mean your emotional self; I mean the part of you hidden beneath your
emotional baggage—your soul’s consciousness.”
― Lorraine Nilon, Spirituality, Evolution and Awakened Consciousness: Getting Real About Soul Maturity and Spiritual Growth

“Put pen to paper.
The people who build their truest, most beautiful lives usually do. It's hard to jump from dreaming to doing. As every architect or designer knows, here is a critical step between vision and reality. Before imagination becomes three-dimensional, it usually needs to become two-dimensional.
[...]
Let's look at what we've written and decide that these are not pipe dreams; these are our marching orders. These are the blueprints for our lives.”
― Glennon Doyle, Untamed: Stop Pleasing, Start Living / A Toolkit for Modern Life

“There is beauty in flying, and there is wisdom in traveling.”
― Lia Ocampo, I Love Flying: Inspirational Journal for your Flying and Travel Adventures

“In my journals I have a lot of conversations that I'm having with you in my head. I'll be having a conversation with you and I'll put it in my journal because stereotypically or symbolically these conversations occur in a space of Black woman/white woman where it's beyond Adrienne and Audre, almost as if we're two voices.”
― Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches

“These words need not be red for our blood to run through them.”
― Amanda Gorman, Call Us What We Carry

“A diary or journal isn’t necessarily something that should be done daily so much as it is a clue to how to see the daily world around oneself differently.”
― Alexandra Johnson, Leaving a Trace: On Keeping a Journal

“The internal Censor (and maddening companions); the necessity for privacy; the security of secrecy. To control these three fears is to unlock the secret of how to slip under the surface of the conscious mind where connections and freedom flourish.”
― Alexandra Johnson, Leaving a Trace: On Keeping a Journal

“Writing your thoughts down can bring clarity amid confusion and stagnancy.”
― Robin S. Baker

“Greg told me," said Uncle Hugh, "that that's what you call it. Not a journal. Why The Book of Strangenesses? I like it--but why?"
"Haven't I ever explained? But I suppose I never thought to. It's because I'm always being surprised by strangenesses, by what
happens to me, as if I'm always turning a corner and never can imagine exactly what lies ahead. So strange, Uncle Hugh--everything.
I've always felt I'll never get used to it, that I should be alive and the world the way it is, the things that happen we never could guess.
I've wondered if other people feel this way, but I'd never ask. It's too personal, like asking suddenly if they believe in God. Do you understand?”
― Eleanor Cameron, The Private Worlds of Julia Redfern

“You don't have to journal to appreciate this book. Just think of it as writing yourself a love note every day, and keep track of them to look back on when you're having a tough day.”
― Cindy Peterman, 365 Journal Prompts for Self-Love: Unlocking Inner Kindness and Confidence One Day at a Time

“When I sit to write out my 3 year vision I let my thoughts and words flow. This is a journal entry written by your future self. Let it play out like a movie you’re watching, with you as the star in the setting you most love.”
