The Art of Future Journaling: A Path to Your Dreams

Unlocking Your Creative Potential

You are busy writing. You get notes, you rewrite. You enjoy it, or perhaps not. You are either in your element or you have become a writer rat in a race that you want out of, or more control over. Perhaps you journal.

What is Future Journaling?

How about writing your journal ahead of time? Future journaling is a powerful technique that allows you to envision your dreams and aspirations. It’s about giving yourself a gift. Write what you yearn for. Write what you want your journal entry to be one week from now, one month, one year, three years, five, and ten.

Imagine - what will your journal entry be like if your wildest dreams come true?

Crafting Your Vision

If you were to write the scene in script form, what would it be like? Where are you living? What are you doing? Who are you doing it with? Write every detail. What are you wearing? What are all the colours around you? The textures, smells, tastes, emotions, and sensations?

The Power of Visualization

What would make you so incredibly happy? Revel in it. Read it. Keep reading it again and again. Keep it up where you can see it and be reminded, then, watch and see what happens.
