My continuous journey with journalling and manifestation!
“In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself." -Susan Sontag
Since the beginning of the pandemic, I have personally struggled with more feelings of anxiety than usual. In the spring of 2020, every day felt like the end of the world. Feelings of uncertainty, sadness, and confusion, ruled my daily life. A task that got me through my worries was journaling my feelings and "manifesting" what I wanted out of life. At the end of every day, I started to jot down any and every anxious thought that popped into my head. I then stated things I wanted to work on, whether it be my physical fitness, talking kinder to myself, or finding new hobbies to keep busy with. I would always complete my journal entry with a thought of manifestation. In my journal entry I begin with what I wanted to work on (anxious thoughts), how I would work on them (doing more exercise), but what did I want my life to look like? I wanted to start manifesting how these steps of journaling would help me not only create the person I wanted to be on paper but to take those steps to become the better version of myself. I would write things like, "I want to get better marks this semester, I am manifesting more focus for myself and my school work." I wrote that manifestation in December 2020... And this semester, I brought my average up by 20%. Some people see manifestation as a form of "magic," but I see it as a way of subliminally telling yourself to make your dreams happen.
Have you tried journalling or manifestation? Let me know in the comments!
