Diary Writer, as you pull out your Diary to write, ask yourself, "What condition is my mind in?" . . .

Diary Writer...

"What condition is your mind in?"

When you get ready to write in your Diary, take a moment to ask yourself a very important question, "What condition is my mind in?" . . .

Your mind needs to be relaxed and open to learning more about your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.  Your soul knows best what your soul is here on this planet to do.

As you search your mind, understand that your mind is a powerful tool.  You can visualize your future.  Whatever good you can envision, you can seek to earnestly create and achieve.  And while some efforts are not God-centered efforts, it is best to always pray about what it is that you seek to do.  Prayer helps you to avoid some of the pitfalls in life, and prayer cannot be discounted.

Understanding the power of your mind, you need to make sure that you understand the power of your words.  We only speak what we have taken time to think about (or dwell on).  We also only write what is in our hearts.

As a Diary Writer, when you write your daily diary entries, understand that if you truly write from your heart, the truth of who you are and what you are will come through.

Being a Diary Writer is an eye-opening experience.

Awake Diary Writer

If you take your daily diary writing to heart, you will gain great spiritual worth and soul revelations.

BLOG SESSION

September 13th, 2017

Good Afternoon Diary Writers ~ We are back for another great Blog Session.  If you have your Journals and Diaries, then you are ready to take notes in your Journal about today's Blog Session...

Journal Notes

Today we are going to get into focusing on our daily diary entries.  In our previous Blog Sessions, we discussed great tips for you to think about so that you would have plenty of fuel to get started with your daily diary entries.  There are several areas that we brought up for you to think about, like Historical Diary entries and Journalistic Diary entries.  We also discussed your awareness about the outer world around you ~ your neighborhood, your county, your township, your city, your State, your Province, your Region, your Country, and the Island or Continent you live on.

Another great area that we brought up was the look and feel of your Diary...your Diary should be pleasing to you.  If you are a creative or artistic person, not only will you choose a Diary that reflects your creative side, you are also probably skillful enough to design and create your own Diary that will clearly reflect your style and your personality...

If you would rather purchase your Diary from the store, or have already done so, then you will be able to find a decorative Diary that will also reflect your style, because there are many gorgeous looking Diaries on the market for both male and female Diary Writers.

Decorative Diary and/or Journal

Decorative Diary

Whatever Diary that you choose for yourself, the main thing you should focus on is writing in your Diary consistently.  Consistently writing in your Diary gives you a wider and clearer window of both your internal and outer worlds.  You won't miss important details of your life if you write in your Diary consistently.  A Diary is meant for you to "Tell Your Story".

READING over your Diary on a weekly or monthly basis is eye-opening, especially if you write in your Diary, and let it rest for a week or a month, then go back to it and read what you wrote.

Read over your diary entries

Let us take a personal example of a matter in your life that is affecting you, but that is not of your own making ~ let's say it is an event that is happening in your city, town, state, or country.  There could be an event going on that involves lives, particularly needless murder of innocent lives at the hands of people who should be those you call on for protection. What would you think about the situation?  What would you say about the situation to your children? What would you do about the situation?  The following example is happening now in the United States in the city of St. Louis Missouri...

Black Lives Matter

Peaceful Protest

The sign reads:  "Black Lives Don't Matter to the Police"

What if you are a Policeman?

What if the person being shot & killed was your child?

We're all connected

Must we all lay down?

What is happening now in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States is just one example of the many things going on around the world.  You may look it up for yourself on the internet and do your research to find out more.

The things going on in the world may happen to make you realize that whatever complaint you may have in your life (or about your life) is nothing compared to what so many other people are going through.  People are starving, have no water, are being poisoned by the water system (like the Flint, Michigan water crisis), have just lost everything due to floods and/or Hurricanes, are in the midst of wars, are being killed because of their religion, and a myriad of other issues.

If you write in your Diary on a daily basis, there will be world events happening every day that may affect you or someone that you know and love.  There will always be something happening in your life or the lives of those close to you that will move your emotions and feelings.  It is in those moments that you write about how you feel, what you think, what you are thinking about doing, or are going to do about whatever the situation may be.

Think of your Diary as your best friend.  When you write in your Diary, you speak.  When you read your Diary back, it talks back to you and allows you to gain a deeper perspective of your own thoughts and views.

A Diary is the best way to "know thyself".

"What's Erupting in your outer World?!"

BLOG SESSION

September 8th, 2017

Welcome back Diary Writers ~ It is a brand new day!

As we come back for another great Blog Session, the first thing that everyone should do as you get ready to Journal our discussion for today is . . .

No matter what is going on in your world at this time ~ the good, the bad, and the ugly ~ it is all useful for your growth, and your ability to always see open doors, and opportunities even in the midst of struggles.

As we get ready for today's discussion, you will need to grab your Journal to take notes.  Our Blog Session for today will be focused on you reflecting and jotting down your answers to our primary question for today ~

"What's Erupting in your outer World?!"

While we have spent time on some of our previous Blog Sessions dealing with our internal world, and the thoughts that spring up inside of us regarding our internal emotions and feelings, today we would like to turn the page and take a deep look at what is going on in our outer world.

As you grab your Journal and pen, take a moment to reflect on what is going on outside your front door.

Without taking a step outside your front door, in your mind visualize opening up your front door.  What do you see?

In your Journal, write down your vision of what you see outside your front door . . .

Journal Notes

As you write down the vision of what you see outside your front door, feel the emotions that are running through you.  Are you feeling happy, sad, neutral, anxious, nervous, irritated, joyous, annoyed, or depressed?  Make sure you write one word that describes the "feeling" associated with what you are visualizing outside your front door.

Underneath your answers write the following statements . . .

"What I visualize and see outside my front door is an indication of my expectations."

"How I feel about what I expect to see is an indication of how I feel about what I create for myself."

Take a minute to reflect on the two statements above.

Soul Travels of a Diary Writer ~ Step Twelve ~ "The Blame Game"

Soul Travels of a Diary Writer

Step Twelve

"The Blame Game"

BLOG SESSION

September 3rd, 2017

Welcome back Diary Writers, Blog Readers, Followers & Visitors ~ We're here for another wonderful Blog Session about tips for your daily dairy entries.

In our last Blog Session we discussed the topic of your next great idea.  In your Journal, you were to write down all of your great ideas, (no matter how large or small), and you were to include any additional input or thoughts that you had with regard to your ideas.

One thing that we need to introduce to you today so that you can clear any distractive thoughts from your great ideas, as well as make a clear path for all progress that you are about to make with your daily diary entries is "The Blame Game".

Hopefully, everyone has their Journals out and you're ready to take notes . . .

Journal Notes

One very important note for today's Blog Session is the quote that you see at the heading of this Blog . . .

"When you think EVERYTHING is someone else's fault, you will suffer a lot." ~ Dali Lama

Please make a note in your Journal of this quote.  As you sincerely begin writing your daily diary entries, you'll need to assess whether or not you are harboring bad feelings against others, or casting blame on others for anything that you have perceived to have gone wrong in your life.

Many people who have negative attitudes are prime candidates for "The Blame Game".  People get stuck playing The Blame Game, because it makes it easier for them not to take responsibility for certain situations or circumstances that have arisen in their life that are not what they want.  Misery loves company.  And, sometimes people like to make everyone else around them miserable when they feel miserable.   One way that the Miserable One does that is to blame others for their feelings versus assessing their feelings and emotions and getting to the root of the real problem.

The Blame Game

Please Note:   How you perceive the challenges that you may have to face at any given time in your life makes a huge difference in your well being.  There is no need to suffer because of The Blame Game, and that includes wrong thoughts, misgivings, resentments, unforgiveness, misunderstandings, and/or your lack of fortitude or inapt communication skills.

Another area that you will want to stay away from as you focus on your Great Ideas and writing your daily diary entries is GOSSIP...

Gossip

Gossip is very destructive to your progress, so do steer clear of it.

Gossip ruins relationships, scars reputations, and takes you off course from productive endeavors.

As you clear away distractions from your life you will be able to write in your Diary with a clear state of mind.

We'll be back with more daily diary writing tips for all of the Diary Writers following along who like to write in their Diaries online in our next Blog Session...
