Overcoming inertia and simply starting to write is often the most difficult part of journaling. Many of us writers (and yes, you are a writer) may find a long list of excuses   to avoid starting a journal… you may even claim you don’t know how to write a journal.

Here’s some good news for writing and bad news for procrastinating: the eJournal 53 Weekly Writing Retreats: How to Use Your Journal to Get Healthy Now  will sweep aside all your reasons to stall and help you discover new talents, passions and goals through journaling. This eJournal provides you with a relaxing, supportive weekly retreat with your own personal journal therapist… without having to leave home. It walks you, step by step, through the writing process, whether you are starting a journal for the first time or continuing the work you’ve already been doing.  

How Does the 53 Weekly Writing Retreats eJournal Work?

• The 53 Weekly Writing Retreats eJournal asks you to commit once a week to set aside time to write. You can print out the entire book at once, or you can do it gradually as you progress, one week at a time. Put the prompts in a three-ring binder, or paste the pages into your own journal.  

• Find a private, quiet place to write away from distractions (turn off your cell phone, computer and other technology), and settle into a comfortable chair with a favorite pen. Make small changes to create a relaxing environment for writing—light candles or incense, put on soft music and spend a few minutes just breathing before you begin.

• Each Weekly Writing Retreat provides thought-provoking prompts for you to explore and reflect on once a week. Even if you think you have no idea how to write a journal, it will become easier and easier to express yourself through writing as you continue with each new prompt. The book will guide you as you sift through your internal crazycrap (the false criticism and negativity you’ve been carrying around for years) and rediscover your strengths and skills.
