Guidelines For Noticing and Journaling
~Noticing is a powerful tool for self-realization and growth. Noticing invites us to be conscious creators of our own reality.
~The ground rules for incorporating the habit of noticing into your life are simple; begin by noticing what it is that you characteristically notice. Pay deliberate attention to what you are noticing, from one minute to the next. Notice everything there is to notice in each moment. Notice what you feel and think, and also notice how you react. Through fully embracing your life experiences, endless possibilities will present themselves for your observation. The more you notice, the more you’ll find to notice, experience, and learn!
~There is no right or wrong way to notice. When you are ready and eager, pick up your pen and journal to actively examine and record your observations, your thoughts, your feelings, and your insights. As you begin, begin directing your attention to noticing, write about your observations right on the spot, or live with them for a day or a week and then write.
~It is essential to summarize each time you write with a brief feedback statement that captures the learning and provides the opportunity for insight. The feedback statement is a definitive aid and with the help of this short summary, the new concept can be integrated and a true change of consciousness can take place. In this way the feedback statement can actually result in a raising of your consciousness.
~As you begin noticing and journaling, remember to be gentle with yourself. Offer yourself unconditional love. Become the one who is sure to love you no matter what presents itself. Applaud your achievements. Accept your humanness. Be understanding while encouraging your best to come forth to be congruent with your truth.
