Honesty journals are your time to take down that inner wall around your heart and be open. Pain and injuries to your spirit lead to this wall, and it will take practice to learn to take it down.
You can do this in small steps as you write in your journal.
The honesty journal will give you so much. I know because I have kept one for a year now.
Strength
Vulnerability starts with yourself. As you develop it, your vulnerability will become your strength.
Connection
When you learn to take down the wall with yourself, you gain greater connection with yourself. You need that in order to feel grounded and to know who you are and what you are becoming.
As you get better at removing that wall, you will also get better at lowering it with others too. This will allow much greater connection.
Acceptance
In your honest journal you get to be just yourself. No facades or perfection is needed. You are perfect the way you are. Accept what you are with courage and grace and love yourself.
Giving
If you give yourself this time to be honest and learn to appreciate yourself, you will have more to give to others. Love is a gift that you give yourself, and when it flows over, you can wash everyone around you with it
As you write, feel in your heart. Find a new home there. In your heart is love, kindness, and compassion. All of this is available to you whenever you need it.
