Welcome to Litsy!

I made more progress in this Netgalley ARC I have on my #roll100 list. I was supposed to read it before it was published but I didn‘t so I‘m reading it on Kindle Unlimited. I‘m still reading this book and journaling along with it when the blank journal pages come up. I‘m doing stream of consciousness writing along with this book. I think the journaling is helping. I probably won‘t finish this book before the end of the month but I‘m enjoying it.

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? 🤣🤣🤣
