Spencer W. Kimball said, "Those who keep a book of remembrance are more likely to keep the Lord in remembrance in their daily lives. Journals are a way to count our blessings and leave an inventory of these blessings for our prosperity."
Here are my tips:
Set a day(or time) to journal: I always journal on Sundays. Sundays are the least busiest so it is easier to do. Pick a day or time and commit yourself to do it every day or once a week. That time is journal time. Even setting reminders on your phone can help with forgetfulness.
Be committed: Want to do it. Want to succeeded.
Get something you want to write IN & WITH: Think how much more fun and exciting it would be to write in a cute journal with cute, BUT good pens. Remember this is something you want to last, so choose wisely.
Make it fun: I wanted to do this post just for this. I found 52 journal topics/questions on Pinterest and printed them off and every week I would do one of those. (You can also get them day-by-day.) They were easy and they were fun + whoever reads it will be able to get to know you better! I've came up with 52 questions(one per week) that YOU can print off and do. I will be doing these this year!!
