When I started Journaling at the age of 15 I had no idea about the power of this ritual. I was just happy to have a place to express myself . We had moved to Switzerland from Africa when I was almost 12. Besides being homesick for Africa I also did not know where I belonged anymore. I was not fully eastern and I was not fully western. I did not really fit anywhere. Who was I?
Today I know it was an important part of my own self awareness which is one of the most important qualities of an awakened woman. I still have that first journal that I wrote and it still remains the most beautiful one amongst my journals.
I highly recommend Journaling to my clients as the most potent self discovery tool there is. As a Leader it is important to stay connected to yourself so you can be of true service in your work.
