Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Getting started with journaling can be frustrating for some people, but also can be life changing for others. When doing anything in life, such as journaling to improve spiritual balance, it’s important to have a personal and well-defined purpose that will encourage you to stick to it. However, it’s important to note that spiritual balance is not something you can find, it’s something you create.

WAYS TO BEGIN YOUR SPIRITUAL JOURNEY

Each day I need to let God’s Word interrupt me, rearrange me, and redirect me. – Unknown Author

How often do you read and study God’s Word? Do you just read your favorite Bible verse, pray, then move on with your day? In order to find spiritual balance in our lives, it is important to schedule quality time to not only read God’s Word, but also to write down our personal thoughts about the verses read and to determine how we can apply the verses to our own lives.

Here’s some ways to begin your spiritual journey:

Set a time to better engage in God’s Word and stick to your plan.
Gather your Bible, Concordance, Notebook/Journal, Pens, and Highlighters.
Designate a quiet space with no distractions.
You may want to play some soft music in the background to set a relaxing mood.
Make sure your study area is free of clutter and well lit.
Pray and meditate while studying God’s Word to open your mind and heart.
Speak to God often to strengthen your relationship.

WAYS TO FIND SPIRITUAL BALANCE WITHIN YOUR LIFE

Life is all about balance. You don’t always need to be getting stuff done. Sometimes it’s perfectly okay, and absolutely necessary, to shut down, kick back, and do nothing. – Lori Deschene

In addition, to strive for spiritual balance, it’s important to face each day with a positive attitude. Dig deep inside to strive for new opportunities that surround us every day. Focus on right now and not what ifs. Believe it or not, even as I type these words, it seems easier said than done. I realize it will not be easy for some, but to move to a better place in life, we sometimes need to place ourselves in uncomfortable situations and/or conversations. Involve yourself with like-minded individuals who build you up and not tear you down.

Here’s some additional ways to help you find spiritual balance within your life:

Write your thoughts and feelings in a journal.
Read and be grounded in God’s Word.
Meditate and be prayerful.
Practice yoga and stretch routines.
Read inspirational and spiritual books.
Set some attainable goals for yourself.
Post positive quotes where you can read them daily.
Recite positive affirmations throughout your day.

As we look ahead in 2021, we’ve got gratitude on our minds. Continue to focus on your healthy living and fitness journey. Don’t procrastinate any longer. Get a journal and start journaling to improve spiritual balance. Whatever your reason, the results will be the same. Once you begin the journaling process, you’ll become wiser, more enlightened, and all-around better version of yourself.

I take time to reflect on my amazing life, then write in my journal. – Unknown Author

I love journaling because it is a safe place for me to put my feelings and emotions into words, then put my words into action. Remember, journaling is your very own personal journey throughout life, your ups and downs, your successes, and failures. Journaling also allows for past reflection, future insight, and present surrender. Ready, set, write!
