Does keeping a mental journal count as a journal?

Fabulous CoachBehavioral Science AssistantRecommended AnswerAI Summary

Yes, keeping a mental journal can count as a journal, as it involves reflecting on your thoughts and experiences. However, writing in a physical or digital journal can enhance your self-care practice by allowing you to articulate emotions and track progress over time. Both methods can contribute to developing lasting healthy habits and meaningful daily rituals. Consider combining both approaches to enrich your journaling experience and achieve your goals more effectively.

The fact that you’re asking the question tells me that you don’t think so. And really, the point of a journal is so personal, it’s only for you! So either you want to do it and you’re just struggling to make it part of your routine, or you *think* you should want to journal and really don’t, so you’re justifying why you aren’t. But it’s only for you. So if being alone with your thoughts at a quiet time in your day feels like enough, then it is.
