3 Tips for Taking Your Journaling to the Next Level

Have you been writing in your journal for a while, and feel like something is missing? If 
so, it might be time to take your journaling to the next level. Here are 3 tips to help get 
you there.


1. Write About What Scares You

Start by writing about what scares you. This helps you to delve deeper into your 
thoughts when you are journaling, instead of just writing about your day. It can be easy 
to get used to the same journaling every day, where you are just going over what your 
plans are, but to get deeper into journaling and reveal more about yourself, you need to 
write about what scares you.

This can be thoughts and concerns now or in the future, or your literal fears. Maybe you 
have anxiety and want to talk about things you can’t do because of your anxiety, or you 
are scared of things like your business failing or a relationship ending. As with all 
journaling, make sure you are honest with yourself when writing.


2. Try Scripting

Scripting is a style of writing often used in law of attraction and personal development, 
where you write in the present tense, as if what you are trying to manifest has already 
happened. A lot of scripting starts with “I am” instead of “I want to” or “I hope”. Even if 
the thing hasn’t happened yet, you are writing as if it has. This gets it into your mind 
what it will be like when you complete that goal or achieve that life accomplishment. You 
really want to think about what your life will be like, how it will change, how you will feel, 
and write all of those details down.


3. Journal Your Biggest Secrets

Do you have big, hidden secrets you never tell anyone, not even your journal? Now 
might be a good time to start. You of course want to make sure your journal is private 
and nobody will ever be able to read it. Once you do that, start writing down your 
secrets. They may vary in the types or sizes of secrets, but thoughts you have never 
admitted, to something you have been bottling up for a long time. This can be really 
therapeutic when there is something you can’t tell anyone and you just have to keep to 
yourself.
