There are three journal actions that you should take when writing a journal entry. You should stop. You should look, and then you should listen. In order to write a journal entry you need to be aware of what’s going on inside and outside of you. After practicing these three actions you will become more aware of everything around you.

STOP: Prepare yourself to write, finish up the work in front of you. Find your journal and pen or pencil. Take a deep breath, shrug your shoulders and relax.

LOOK: Look at your journal page. Take in everything about the page, including margins, whether the page is ruled or unruled and how much space you have from the top to the bottom of the page. Then think about the issue(s)s that you want to discuss. Choose one subject. Jot the other topics in a short list somewhere for later use. Here’s are some suggestions for choosing a topic.

-- Make a list of positive words or phrases that you read when you need some encouragement.

--Make a page of your favorite drawings to motivate you in to create your art.

--Write a page about one of your strongest feelings, such as anger or sadness.

--Write a list of all that you accomplished in one day, week, month or year/

--Write a to-do list.
--Write a list of dreams.
--Write a list of goals.
--Write a list of short prayers.
--Write a list of your favorite books.
--Write a shopping list.

LISTEN: Listen to your intuition, that small voice that you hear when you are making a decision. Listen to God. Listen to people you trust. Listen to the five w’s, who, what ,when where and why. Write the words that you hear. Identify the voice that is speaking to you. Have a brief conversation with the voice. Stop writing when you are both finished. You may run out of words to say, feel tired or have writer’s cramp. Some examples of when you may be finished:
You may run out of words, feel tired or have writer's cramp.

Congratulations! You’ve written your first journal entry. You can repeat this exercise any time, to help you write new entries.

Happy Journaling!

1. Magic Happens
Those are the words in an advertisement on the television screen when I walked into the living room yesterday. I was doing my usual morningroutine of getting the children up and out of the house so Katherinewould arrive at school on time. Usually the TV is not something I notice. My normal words are, 'Turnoff the TV before you leave the room.' Two words on the screen stopped me in my tracks. More common was another saying that tells us 'Something Negative Always (my translation) Happens' I notic…

2. Summary of Principles Chapters 1 thru 16
Last chapter I told you I was going to summarize the principals of being an entrepreneur in these first 16 chapters.

There are many ways you can deal with unsurmountable odds, but one is a great gift from …

3. Personal and Professional Development - What's the Difference?
When people ask me about my business, I tell them I'm in the learning business - that we help organizations, teams and individuals reach their potential through learning. This is a fine statement and it does describe the breadth of what we do, but it often leads to the follow-up question like . . . 'Do you do personal development stuff or just business skills training?' My answer is yes. Because I don't believe there is a significant difference between personal development and professional devel…

4. What You See is What You Get
H. Jackson Brown Jr. once wrote, “Your mind can only hold one thought at a time, make it a positive and constructive one.” As simple as these words may seem, they are in fact, very true. You see, if you are looking for a way to feel better at any given moment, all you have to do is change what you are focusing on. Your brain is a very powerful tool that you own and you should use to your advantage. When was the last time you were reminiscing about a great time in your life and it made you feel t…
