Journaling Your Way to Creativity
Reasons to Keep a Journal When You’re a Creative Person
Whether you’re a writer, graphic designer or artist, maintaining your creativity can sometimes prove to be a real challenge. So, what can you do if your creativity starts to falter? I recommend journaling your way to creativity!
A journal is an excellent tool you can use to keep your creativity alive. This isn’t the type of journal you use to write your innermost thoughts and feelings (though you could use it for that purpose if it helps). Instead, a creativity journal focuses on helping you to solve problems, brainstorm ideas and practice creativity.
Here, you’ll discover just some of the reasons to keep a journal when you’re a creative person.
Journaling Helps You to Practice and Refine Your Skills
One of the best reasons to keep a creative journal is because it helps you to practice and refine your skills. Creativity doesn’t always come naturally. In fact, it often takes a lot of practicing to maintain it.
