JOURNAL: 365+ Writing prompts, ideas and quotes to cultivate joy and well-being
This book of journal writing prompts along with beautiful blank books, simple spiral notebooks or even legal pads can bring you a year or a lifetime of reflection and self-discovery.
Set down your memories, experiences, gratitude, goals and achievements.
If you absolutely insist you can even get digital and password-protected, but then you'll miss the fun of doodling, adding arrows and mind maps along with the romantic pen and paper connection.
Journal: 365+ Writing prompts, ideas and quotes to cultivate joy and well-being offers some 400 prompts and thoughtful or whimsical quotations - one idea and quote for each day of the year with extras. The book also contains two BONUS appendices of folk wisdom for writers, and writers on writing. A detailed introduction explains the benefits and value of journaling along with suggestions for daily writing practices.
Many of the ideas in this book would be welcome as dinner table discussion material along with family sharing of gratitude, brags, desires and even vulnerabilities (just like in a journal).
Begin this book any day of the year. Each day, read a quote and a new prompt and get comfortable with your few minutes of sweet private time away from the world. Journal in bed first thing in the morning, at the end of the day, or with your 4 pm tea break. Make it a new habit that becomes your gift to yourself.
You can even de-privatize the practice and find a trusted journal-reading partner or non-judgmental small, intimate group with whom to share your writing. This would be a soul mastery group which could meet once a week or by Skype or however you develop it.
The main principle is to feel freed and elevated by your writing space, time and journey, not judged or exposed.
Back in 1980 the novelist Graham Greene wrote that "writing is a form of therapy". Much more than uttering words, writing time brings introspection and often resolution of problems, dissolution of anger and healing from emotional ailments. The practice of observing and appreciating the world in a solitary writing practice activates a more joyful sense of well-being.
You can add Journal: 365+ Writing Prompts to most technologies these days even if you don't have a kindle reader as there's now a free kindle app for PC, iphone, ipad, Mac, and Android. Of course you can journal with only your simple blank notebook, but this book will give you a real push to sustain your writing along with some novel ideas for releasing that inner junk that's been looking for a way out. Journal: 365+ is part of the Amazon.com matchbook program so you can purchase both a physical book and a digital book together at a reduced price. Share the love and joy.
Go ahead, crack open that notebook and pick up that beloved pen you got as a present. Choose your favorite location and preferred time. WRITE one day at a time until you've found a new loving introspective behavior.

Most of the books I looked at about journaling were not very useful. This one eliminates all the rubbish and gets straight down to business. If you just want to start journaling this book gives you context and prompt for doing that every day.

Ok
I enjoyed the quotes for the most part. The journal prompts tended to be either vague or overly specific. Just my opinion
