As a slow traveler, I’m constantly moving from place to place. I observe, reflect, and make connections between the places I visit and my state of mind while there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve used journaling to capture my mindset, focus and insights in the various locations I’ve visited over the past 15 years. It helps me create a tangible record of my adventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mostly I’m just recording significant thoughts, realizations and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I look back and read past entries, it’s as if I’m instantly transported back to that place and time. I can also see how my mindset has evolved, and track progress on key projects I’ve been working on on a continual basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking to start up a similar practice, these quotes about journaling can help. What follows is a collection of insights from various thinkers that each share a unique perspective on what it means to document your thoughts (and how you go about doing it). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
