"It’s hard to listen to what our hearts and souls are trying to tell us when there’s no space to let in the things we need to hear.”(Corey Wheeland) . Journaling is the space to let in the things we need to hear. Journaling requires us to be still and to step into the rare moments of quiet  we find in our lives. Have you ever wondered why we're SO "connected" to each other, but yet we CRAVE community and belonging? We're surrounded, but yet we feel so alone. The reason for this is that we lack a deep and personal connection within ourselves, and therefore we lack a sense of community with each other. The world is loud.  It's busy. It's information overload.  Its judgemental. It's fast. It's overwhelming,  and the "noise" causes stress and anxiety. Couple this with a decline in wellness and self-care, and we see a rise in depression, suicide, negativity, and crisis. It's imperative that we choose ourselves daily. It's so important that we CREATE moments to reflect on our thoughts and monitor our feelings. It's important to be aware of our needs. Our hearts and souls are continuously whispering wisdom into every moment.  Our intuition and conscience are speaking and guiding our choices but we cannot hear them. My friend, take a moment today, and carve out time to sit in repose.  Put down your phone, stop scrolling, stop searching and listen. Grab a pen and grab your journal and write until your mind gets quiet.  It doesn't need to be an hour. A few moments at a time would be a great start. Practice quieting. Practice listening. Practice journaling, and you'll get better with time. You have a voice. You deserve to be heard…Share your thoughts at www.letswriteforachange.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thejournalcoachingpodcast/support
