Spiritual Agency

Journaling is an exercise in spiritual agency.

What is spiritual agency?

Agency is defined as "the ability to make decisions and act independently."

Your spirit is the part of you that believes and upholds your values.

Journaling is a practice ground for spiritual agency because you can choose to uphold your values through selecting what you journal about and the perspective you journal from.

Spiritual Agency = Deliberate Choice x Personal Value System

I'll give an example.

Let's say a stressful event just took place and you journal about it.

You decide to discuss possible solutions and if there is no attainable solution, you choose to discuss how you can navigate the issue.

Journaling is like meditation

I see parallels often. Mindfulness is the space between thought and action. So then, what's the space between thought and paper?

What is it when you choose the sorts of thoughts you want to spend time with?
