Your WOW moment

12 Apr 2017 Comments Off

Dear Fellow Journalers,

There are certain moments in your life that have a profound transformative impact on you – the day you met your first true love, the time you met an author you admired, experienced a spiritual or religious awakening. These “wow” moments ‘knock us off our feet’ and open our eyes to brand new worlds of possibilities. They don’t happen every day and their effects last for years. These moments, while fleeting, deserve to be held in places of honor your personal sanctuary your journal.

But just how do you write about such moments? Like everything else we’ve been journaling about, we begin with reflection. Start with listing all your ‘wow’ moments. Next read through your list and instinctively you’ll choose an event that is most important to you.

On a new page, tell your story as if you were talking to a trusted friend.
Set the scene by describing all the details you can remember – where you were, who was with you, how old were you, what events led you to this point.
Write about the moment, making sure to note your feelings before, during and after.
Why was this a “wow” moment for you? How did it change you? Are you a different person today because of it? Write your reflections.

‘Til next time,
