Journaling is all about being engaged in our lives and understanding ourselves better. When we reflect on our thoughts and actions we gain self-knowledge and grow exponentially. Journaling greatly facilitates this process of personal growth. As a journal of engaged living, The Mindful Word publishes a lot of articles on journaling and related topics. We also sell a number of journals of different shapes, sizes and designs in our Book Shop. Here’s a sampling of our articles on journaling and some personal essays for journaling inspiration.
