My 30-Day Full Focus Journal Challenge
I recently purchased The Full Focus Journal because I wanted to be more deliberate and intentional with my journaling.
So I decided to give myself a 30-day challenge.
I wanted to see what would happen if I slowed down, reflected each day, and paid closer attention to what God might be showing me.
I am now ten days in.
Here are a few things I am learning.

Words to Live By for the Next 90 Days
As part of the journal, I chose a few words to guide me for the next 90 days.
Here they are.
Start.
I do not need to know how everything will work out.
I simply need to start.
Clarity often comes after I take the first step.
Action.
Move.
Take one step.
Nothing changes if I only think about what I want to do.
Serve.
Life is not only about me.
Who can I help?
Who can I encourage?
Who can I listen to?
I also need to remember that it is okay to receive help too.
Trust.
Who do I need to trust?
God.
God and I are partners in this journey.
Slow down.
Let me say that again.
Slow down.
Enjoy life.
Create experiences with family and friends.
Listen.
Watch.
Laugh.
It is good for the soul.
Let go.
Let go of fear, doubt, and worry.
Do not get caught up in what others think.
Act on the dreams and goals God has planted within you.
Growth Is a Choice
I love this quote by Karen Kaiser in the journal:
“Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.”
That line has stayed with me.
Change will come whether I want it to or not.
But growth is something I must choose.
I do not want to look back with regret because I was afraid to grow.
I do not want fear to keep me from taking the next step.
Even if I fail, I will have tried.
And if I have tried, I have grown.
So I will ask God for help.
I will trust the process.
I will keep going.
What Journaling Is Teaching Me
This journaling practice is helping me slow down and notice what is stirring within me.
It is helping me become more honest with myself.
It is helping me listen for God’s gentle nudges.
It is helping me pay attention to the life I am actually living.
That is the gift of journaling.
It creates space.
Space to reflect.
Space to listen.
Space to notice.
Space to act.
I encourage you to give it a try.
You might be surprised by what God shows you.
