Journaling for Homeschool Mom Self-Care

Maintaining a homeschool mom journal is an effective way to carve out precious "me time". With supportive resources (like Maintaining a homeschool mom journal) and tools, you will discover that even a few well-spent minutes each day can have a powerful effect on your well-being.

There are different approaches that you can take to journaling based on inspirational reading. The best approach is the one that you will actually use! A journal to record your thoughts and feelings about an encouraging book or article can help to solidify your understanding and how you apply that knowledge.

  1. Copywork (record word for word) the inspirational verses, phrases, or quotes.
  2. Paraphrase your reading for the day.
  3. Jot down your reaction to the reading. Make a note of your thoughts, feelings, memories, hopes, and goals created by your reading.
  4. All of the above!

Scripture Journaling is a great daily practice for homeschool moms. The right tools can make the activity even better!

My New Homeschool Mom Self-Care Practice

Scripture journaling! A dear friend of mine shared how she strives to begin her day. She uses her DaySpring Monthly/Weekly Planner to jot down her thoughts and feelings on a daily Bible verse.

Her idea inspired my new homeschool mom self-care practice. I use my DaySpring Planner to plan out daily Scripture reading and journaling. To guide my reading, I use these .

For those homeschool moms who are not inclined to do scripture journaling, seek out alternatives. Look to religious or spiritual texts that guide your faith. Read and find encouragement from positive thinkers who motivate and inspire a healthy approach to life. The point of this daily practice is to find and use resources that will uplift and remind you of your goals, as well as desired behaviors and thoughts.

Homeschool moms can practice daily self-care with scripture journaling.
