I keep telling myself that today I am going to open my journal. Then the day goes by. The next morning I say the same thing. Throughout the day I probably have at least 4 or 5 false starts. I may even pick it up then put it right back down.
Why?
I have many very acceptable reasons that I can tell myself. There are other things I need to get done right now. I haven't any idea what to put in there today. If I start this now I wont get other things done. Mostly, I don't want to mess it up. But that isn't it exactly. The purpose of the journal is to play. So nothing will mess it up.
Well I have figured out part of the problem. I have no idea how to translate what I am picturing or feeling to the journal. I want to look back and remember what was going on that day. I have no trouble writing the words. In fact I have trouble editing all the words I want to put down. But to transfer that into another medium. That I am having trouble doing.
I know I know just the colors you choose for the day say something about your frame of mind. But sometimes I want to have a good representation for what it going on. Yet it does not exist but in my mind. How do you get it out?
Now see I just created a challenge for myself didn't I?
I we will have to see what I come up with...
