I usually combine my comment about the quote or message with whatever I am feeling about the day. I try to make the journaling process act as both a reflection and diary all rolled into one.

Sometimes it’s hard for me to journal, but if I have apps (which I do) with reminders, it makes it easier to journal. I will usually follow a journal prompt. I also find it easy to journal when I am angry. I like doing that so I don’t say something regrettable. It helps me to look at what I’m actually feeling and figure out if it’s reasonable. Example being- someone left me on read for over two hours and I started freaking out and thinking that they hate me and find me annoying. When I started journaling, I looked at the situation and said, “They don’t hate me, they are extremely busy preparing for a mission trip. They love me a ton and it’s going to be ok.” Journaling helps me look at things objectively. I also love journaling to record happy moments and special things. Then down the years I can look back and say, “You remember that?”

Do you mean, what are you supposed to journal about? Or what do you journal about? I’ll answer as if it’s “What do you journal about?” Yesterday, when I first journaled, I didn’t understand what to do. I deleted the quote and I think I wrote that I didn’t understand. Today when I journaled, I wrote about how the quote reminded me of when I journaled yesterday, how remembering journaling yesterday made me feel, that I understood how to journal now because of that, and that I thought kind words to myself like today’s quote.

whatever really. it could be what it’s asking, like “how does water make you feel” and i just you know say how water makes me feel, or i ignore it and write what’s been on my mind lately, because i can’t say it to anyway else. i’m tired of writing it in my notes or stuff like that. so i wrote it in my journaling thing here. usually they are pretty long answers and while i am writing them there’s a lot of tears.

I journal about my thoughts and really anything that comes to mind. I try to think of my true feelings and inner thoughts! :)

I most journal about my current state of mind and my current situation with how things are going and where I am in life. Then I try to see a way of making lemonade with the lemons life has thrown my way. Learning not to sweat the small stuff is easier said than done with me so, writing it all down on paper gives me a handle over my reaction and helps me to process things easily.

I write about the tasks I achieved, the conversation I’m having with people and just immediate things that are on my mind.
