Capturing a Moment
While searching online, as I do, for more inspiration for journal writers I came across an interesting lady today. Lori J. Batcheller is a Certified Journal Instructor, Journaling Coach, Author And Physical Therapist. In the article I read, Journal-Keeping: A Place For Healing, Self-Discovery, & Creative Flow, I really liked this journal writing technique:
“Capturing moments. Write a description of an experience that was truly intense and memorable. Immerse yourself in the past moment and fill the page with physical and emotional detail. Doing this recreates your body’s physiological response to a pleasant event and promotes the healing effects of being happy. Most people report they feel refreshed and energized after writing out their favorite moments.”
I intend using this one myself soon. I hope you do, too. Please share any thoughts on this journal writing prompt in the comments section below.

It sounds interesting, though I’d do it on the computer maybe and not in my journal I think. I write more and faster there. I hope to try it! Will you let us know how you do when you try it? :-)

Hi Hanna,
Yes, I will definitely share what I thought when I try this one. I tend to prefer pen and paper myself, though. There’s something so much more messy and personal about it for me. Glad you found it interesting. ;-)
