I have both an app and a physical notebook that I journal in. I just write whatever’s on my mind or things that have been bothering me or need to vent about really. Anything that helps with my thinking and focus and emotions really.
I have a notepad and when i have completed the day i write it. Or sometimes i keep the thought and then write it together in the morning
I have a simple exercise book and I write what I want to write - no more than five or six lines - you are asked about how you want to live your life and I answer that question 😊
You really have to sit down and take time to observe your thoughts so you can better understand yourself. You have to be motivated to be better and do better daily, and it starts with journaling your current state and then tracking your progress. From there you’ll be able to see how close you are to your goals.
Some days I journal better than other days. I think the motive is just to write something; anything that gets you writing.
Start by trying to have a clear idea in your mind what you want to say to yourself are usually sit down and let the ideas come to my mind and when I have a clear idea of what I wish to express I write it down sometimes I just write down anything that comes to my mind that also helps in the beginning until you’re starting to get a flow
It’s hard when you have a child and husband and work to find 10 mins to write in my journal. I try to write in my journal as soon as I wake up or right before I go to sleep. I keep my journal on my nightstand or in my office so it’s easy access
I used to write whatever I was feeling and usually find myself rambling on. Although this was helpful, sometimes I think it allowed me to dwell a bit too much. Now I try to focus on writing about my day and ending things on a positive note, or seeing the positive side of things. I find this encouraging.
Personally I like to do mine by hand. It’s helpful for me to check in with myself - write about how I’ve been feeling and reflect on how everything is going. Quite often that turns up something that’s been bothering me or a change I need to make. Ultimately, I think it’s about what you need, though. Maybe try a few different approaches and see what works best.
At the end of the day in bed I just write what I did and I also write my feelings about what I did. But I don’t stop until I’m done expressing my thoughts.
