How to write everyday; journaling made simple

You don't have to be a best-selling author or poet to write everyday. In fact, writing everyday is probably one of the most effective ways to improve your life. Whether you are trying to improve your health or just need something else to do on a rainy day; there are many reasons why you should try journaling today.

When you are having a rough day; write your thoughts on paper.

When you are having a rough day and feel like no one understands what you are going through, write your thoughts on paper. It will help to get them out of your head and off of your chest.

You can do this in a journal, notebook or diary. You can also do this by writing an article for your blog or even creating a book about what you have been experiencing lately. What ever way works best for you is the right way; just make sure that it helps you get the feelings out of your mind so they don't keep replaying over and over again throughout your day or night!

Create a dedicated journaling space so you don't have to hunt for pens, pencils or papers.

You may be a natural writer, but if you don't have a dedicated space for writing, it's easy to put it off. If you have to hunt for pens, pencils or papers every time you want to write something down, that can make it harder for yourself to get started.

So create some sort of dedicated writing space where everything is kept together and where nothing gets lost. It can be any kind of place that works for your lifestyle: a desk drawer in your bedroom; an entire corner of the kitchen counter; even just an empty corner on your desk at work (if your boss is cool with that). It doesn't matter too much as long as it's somewhere private (you don't want anyone seeing what you've written) and somewhere comfortable (so you feel inspired). Make sure this area has lots of room so there isn't clutter around while still being small enough so that things aren't falling off everywhere when they should be sitting still on the desk itself!

If possible make sure this “home base” has enough room so there isn't clutter around while still being small enough so that things aren’t falling off everywhere when they should be sitting still on the desk itself!

Journaling can be messy business so make sure the space can get messy and keep it there. Whether you're journaling or writing in a novel, there's nothing wrong with getting messy. For one thing, it can help you get into a more creative mindset—and for another, you'll be able to look back on the pages and remember how much fun it was for you at the time.

So if your handwriting is messy (and who doesn't have a few lines that look like they were written by children?), don't worry about cleaning up or being perfect. Keep your journal safe from water and keep an eye out for any lingering smudges and ink stains—but otherwise, allow yourself to write freely without worrying too much about aesthetics.

The same goes with space: If there's room in your toolbox or desk drawer, buy some felt-tipped pens so they can get little drops of ink all over their papers without ruining them! And if your walls are blank and bare (like mine), paint them with something colorful that inspires creativity! Write down everything that comes into your mind until something strikes a chord within you; then try following its lead wherever it takes you next!

If you don't like to write by hand, use your voice recorder on your phone to talk and then transcribe it.

If you don't like to write by hand, use your voice recorder on your phone to talk and then transcribe it.

Transcribing is a great way to get into the habit of writing daily. It's also a good way for people who have trouble with pen and paper (like me) because it removes some of the barriers to getting down thoughts as they come. When I first started writing, I would transcribe my journaling onto my phone in Evernote so that I could access it anywhere. This made blogging so much more manageable since I didn't have to worry about being without my notes or spending time typing them out again when inspiration struck!

Journaling is not about making art; let go of the idea of perfection; it is more about capturing your emotions.

Journaling is not about making art. It’s about capturing your emotions and expressing them in written form. Let go of the idea of perfection; it is more about capturing your emotions in an imperfect way. Don’t worry about the quality of your writing, grammar or spelling because this is just for you, not for anyone else to read!

Writing in a journal can be cathartic: it helps us release our pent up emotions that could otherwise cause us stress or anxiety if left unresolved within ourselves. So don’t hold back when writing – get all those feelings down on paper! Even if they don’t make sense or seem very coherent at first glance, remember that nobody else will ever see it apart from yourself (and maybe a therapist).

Be OK with writing crummy stuff; keep the bad on paper so you can lay it aside.

The key to writing every day is to do it without pressure, without fear of judgment and without focusing on quality. You're not going to write your best work in the first draft. In fact, I can almost guarantee that you won't. That's fine! The more important thing is getting the ideas out of your head and onto paper so that they don't fester there until they get too big or too overwhelming or too overwhelmingly small (we've all felt that way).

After you're done writing down what you think about something, write down what you feel about it next—or vice versa; whatever works for you! Then come back later and ask yourself some questions about this situation: "What do I want from this situation?" "What do I need from this situation?" Write those answers down as well (and be honest with yourself!).

If you can't think of what to write take a walk and clear your head then sit down again.

If you can't think of what to write, take a walk and clear your head. It's not just good for your health—it will help you write better!

If you're struggling with writer's block, taking a stroll can be just what you need to get those creative juices flowing again. How does this work? It turns out that walking is an excellent way to clear your mind and open up creativity because it forces the brain out of its comfort zone. We are used to being sedentary most of the time so when we stand up and move around our brains start working differently than they usually do. This mental break from routine allows us more freedom in thinking about things differently than before seeing them from different angles such as how they look like rather than how someone else sees them through their eyes only (or even worse: through their words).

Writing about your dreams will help make them happen—it really works! If writing makes your heart pound faster or brings goosebumps to your arms, then writing a journal is right up your alley. Plus, there are no rules when it comes to keeping a journal (except maybe one rule: don't let anyone read it!). Write whatever pops into your head—no matter how weird, silly or embarrassing—and then put the pen down and come back another day when something else comes along that needs getting out of your brain onto paper (or screen).

Why writing every day is important

Through writing we help ourselves connect our emotions to events. Writing helps us process our emotions. It can be a form of therapy, a way to connect with others and understand ourselves better. Writing is a way to remember things that are important to you, whether it’s your own personal stories or those of other people.

Writing can help us feel connected to people in ways that are hard for many of us to do on our own. It helps us understand others better by allowing them to express themselves freely through words on paper (or screen).

Writing is one of the most powerful tools available for us as humans because it connects us directly with our thoughts, feelings and experiences in such an intimate way – which ultimately leads to self-awareness and growth as we move forward into life's next great adventure!
