After my husband joked about getting screwed out of inner peace, I looked for a place to use that brilliant phrase somewhere. In today’s prompt I finally found it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, after listing 10 ways we try to improve ourselves, we pick one to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my journal, I wrote about my first meaningful conversation with my future husband Tom. He told me about an extraordinary book he was reading, Where People Fly and Water Runs Uphill<\/a> by Jeremy Taylor. This is a book about dreams and how to explore the layers of meaning and healing contained within them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"explore<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tom described his fishing dreams to me, so much more evocative than the dreams that woke me in a panic where I ran through hallways searching for a class I signed up for but never attended, to take a test I wasn’t prepared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My journaling results in a ho hum delivery of how we explored our dreams together, starting a dream group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking back on it, I’m surprised I took a subject I found fascinating and potent, and wrote something so bland and uninteresting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here is one of the many beauties of journaling: Even when you’re committed to blogging about the experience, you don’t actually have to share your journal entries!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe me, I’m doing you a favor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Turn to Share<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I hope someone out there has an excerpt more compelling than mine. If so, please share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you write about a way you try to improve yourself, do you discover anything new about yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or just share about the experience of journaling as I did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re judging yourself or your writing, can you remind yourself that this is all an experiment? There’s no right \/ wrong \/ good \/ bad or anything when it comes to journaling. Let it be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
