Keeping a Forgiveness journal as a helpful tool while on your Forgiveness journey. There are a lot of advantages to journaling.

Forgiveness Journal - Marlene Shiple, Ph.D., The Life Coach Dr.If you’ve kept a diary in the past, you may be familiar with some of them. If you haven’t tried it yet, I seriously encourage you to give it a try. It can be very helpful. A journal or diary is always available to you.  It is ready to listen as you pour out your thoughts and feelings on the page.

Your journal can be fancy.  At the same time, it doesn’t have to be fancy. Chances are you already have everything you need.

You can use a notebook.  Or, you might already have an attractive journal — perhaps, one you bought years ago and never cracked the cover … or, got past making the first entry.

If you prefer, you might choose to keep a digital diary. To do so, just open a word document on your computer and start writing entries.  You could also keep a voice- or video-recording on your phone. It doesn’t matter how you journal your forgiveness journey as long as you find a way that works for you.

Most importantly — choose a form that is easy for you to do. If it takes too much effort and time, you probably won’t do it. Keep it simple and choose the format you think will best suit you.

If a few days in you find that it’s not working as well as you thought, change it up. There’s no reason you can’t make a practice of using a written Forgiveness journal — like My Forgiveness Journal:  The Art of Journaling for Healing — to record your thoughts.  It can be a powerful adjunct to a video diary, and vice versa.
