Do you write stuff down? Maybe not like my journals but am sure you do in one way or another. Let’s see– grocery lists, post-its, or even a to do list for the day. I actually still do some of those but maybe you make your lists with your phone or other devices nowadays. Guess I’m just a writer! Warrior also wrote. Every single day. I loved hearing about all the cute notes written to his lovely warrior girls inspiring their days. He also made a journal for his two daughters after they were born. I can only imagine how he filled those up with his OWN brand of fatherly words of wisdom!
I was always humbled with my writing as evidenced by a pink journal I kept from high school. Yep, another “item” I treasured and saved from my attic. It was part of my sophomore service project where we had to volunteer for 30 hours at a place of business and keep a journal. This was graded and needed to be a place you’d consider for a possible career. I chose a daycare center since that really began my experience working with young children.
I loved writing my adventures with these pre-k students and gave no thought to what grade I’d receive. At the end of the school year, they were returned. The teacher was handing them out and then proceeded to give a short speech on a certain someone’s. I had no idea he was talking about me at first. Then, while moving towards my desk he held it like it weighed a TON! It was a huge compliment but like most teenagers, I became totally embarrassed! Never did I forget that moment so who knows~~ that might’ve jump-started my journaling abilities… Yes, I did get an A (:
I have a few more notebooks filled with inspirational quotes, tips for writing, goals/plans for my book Spirit and Belief, speaking gigs, techniques from others, and all great stuff! I love adding ideas while becoming educated all at once. If you aren’t a natural at writing and would like some prompts, go for it! Sure, you can google but you are reading this so it’s my job here! Ask yourself questions. List favorite activities, what makes you happy, some goals for the day/week/month, etc. Whatever you like. There are no rules! You can’t go wrong, be creative. Just don’t list too many at once.
Teachers do this activity with school kids as prompts but we adults need them too. If it really interests you, you’ll make the time without excuses. I love reading books and since some are from the library, I can’t highlight! This is a great journal idea. I wrote down some cool lines from chapters that resonated with me and now read them for a quick pick me up when needing some confidence! I have bought PLENTY of books too!
The fun part is to go back a few months later and see if your list is the same or different. Maybe new ideas get added and some get crossed off. Maybe small ones get turned into bigger ones. You don’t need a professional to jot down what’s important to you. Another great thing is if you write something down, you will more likely achieve it than not. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE! Once you focus on a thought in print, it is more willing to manifest into a reality. It has kept me focused and not just the business end but personal events too. What a difference journaling has made for me and if you give it a try, I GUARANTEE you’ll benefit greatly. Again, don’t start too big or complex in goals or ideas. You’ll become too frustrated and possibly even defeated. My suggestion for beginners is to just make fun lists or mantras you love. That way when you branch out into more challenging aspects– your lovely lists will boost you up!
Perhaps one of these days Warrior’s wife Dana will work on releasing some of his many journals in print for us fans. She has mentioned that since some were asking but what a daunting task! He wrote so much years ago before significant matches. I would be interested to hear what he journaled before Wrestlemania VI, VII, or others! She did have lots to pack up before her move a few years ago so what became of his many journals? Hmmm.. I would love that answer!
I do hope you find your own way to take a jump-start on journaling if it inspires you. Get a notebook and just jot down anything you want! I never seem to have that writer’s block but many do. There are lots of prompts out there but I hope my ideas got you thinking. Maybe you even kept some items from school like I did! You’re better than that teenage angst but now it’s adult angst, ugh!!! Whatever you write, just know it won’t be graded and maybe you can possibly give it to your kids when they grow-up!!! Be personal and express yourself in the way that works for YOU everyday…
