Most impactful book...

I was updating my resume on Linked In and was just thinking about writing a post about sharing a favorite book that I have read lately. I looked around my bookshelves and saw the many books with no labels on the spines and realized that the most impactful book is my journal(s)!

In all of my recent transitions, my journal has provided a blank canvas to write my thoughts, feelings, ideas, and plans..... all without judgement or tied to performance. Just there written on the blank page. Some pages in my journal have great detail and passion, others doodles and wonderings. The pages turn into a story of where I have journeyed and ideas of where to go. As I read my journal I see growth, understanding, and insight.

Journaling has helped me manage anxiety, reduced stress, understand myself and increased my emotional intelligence to name a few benefits. While journaling I might ponder questions like, "What are you fueled by?" or "How do you speak into the lives of others to encourage them?" and so much more.

So what book have I been reading (and writing) lately? My journal. It's a best seller in my world, it speaks to me on a personally level. I highly recommend this book for you!
