Welcome to Litsy!

Here‘s my progress on this book. I didn‘t journal when I woke up so I decided to do a journaling thing I‘ve heard about called Night Pages where you write 3 pages of stream of consciousness writing before bed so I did that. It doesn‘t have to be pretty or perfect. It can just be random thoughts that don‘t make sense, you can rant or whatever you want to do. I have enjoyed journaling along with this book and I‘ve highlighted a lot of passages.

I read some of this book today and journaled when I woke up today and just finished journaling before bed and now, I‘m laying in bed on my phone so I‘m going to try to get some sleep.

I wanted to share some things I highlighted from this book I‘m reading called “My Healthy Noggin” by Bokinia Colbert. These 5 things I‘ve highlighted are some things to think about for today. It‘s making me think.

I read some more of this book. I journaled before bed last night and then today when I woke up. I slept through the night last night after I journaled and I played a guided sleep meditation on YouTube when I went to sleep last night. I didn‘t wake up during my sleep once. I usually wake up more than once while sleeping but that didn‘t happen last night. I think the journaling helped. My mind wasn‘t racing at all when I got in bed last night.

I was reading the book My Healthy Noggin by Bokinia Colbert this afternoon. I highlighted these journaling prompts that the author says to incorporate into journaling along with this book. I could do the visualization exercises, the self reflection prompts and gratitude journaling or I could continue doing the stream of consciousness writing like I did today. I don‘t think there‘s a right or wrong way to start journaling.

I just read more of this book this afternoon. There was another empty page for journaling along with this book and I just did some journaling after waking up this afternoon. It turns out that I had a lot to say about Amazon but I feel better. I think I needed to write about it because I stayed up all night last night worrying about it. I‘ve learned that this is part of having Anxiety. If I worry about something, it keeps me up at night.

I just started this book. I like it so far. It has journaling prompts. It mentions stream of consciousness writing which I‘ve done before and I just did my first journal entry along with this book. Taylor Bradshaw (a folk musician I listen to) made a book of creative exercises and I did them. Stream of consciousness writing was one of the exercises. He said he learned about it from a book he read called “The Artist‘s Way” by Julia Cameron.

NEWS ALERT: breathing gets oxygen to your brain! (She screams with sarcasm...)

Um, is this something we didn‘t know before? 🤣🤣🤣
