When I’m relaxed and at peace, I try to reminisce about the day and it’s so much fun writing about what’s going on. I feel like I’m ‘gisting’ with my journal with the slangs and everything. Taking record of my day is really helping because I’m super forgetful.
Hello, Personally I think the evening is good especially for week days, at that time, you get a sum up of that day and get to leave it all in preparation for the next day. It’s also the best time to sort out todos as you spend time reflecting. Usually, I do recaps on Sundays and last Sunday’s of a month(or first Sunday depending how close to month end it is) Hope it helps... Courage
I feel like my mind is most fresh in the morning, but I end up journaling whenever I can. It feels good to write, decompress, and vent on paper when a situation permits, so that’s my second favorite time. Morning writing helps to organize my day and plan out my thoughts.
If I’ve had an emotional experience (joy, sad, angry, stressed,etc.), I try to write soon after. Usually as an email to myself. I keep a lighted pen next to my bed to write in my dream journal in middle of the night or before getting up in the morning. I return to the dream in the evening for interpretation. My gratitude journal gets 3 things I intend to be grateful for written before breakfast and 3 gratitudes with each meal and at bed. Once a week I take some time after meditation to journal my thoughts.
In the morning, after i wake up, i complete my morning routine(which takes like 10 mins) and than i write in the journal
I usually find it best to write right before bed. After the day is done. It allows me to reflect on the day. To appreciate and be grateful of the good. And to review the bad, then let it go right before sleep. So that in the morning, it is all a fresh start.
When I’m feeling down or something. I find it best to write in my journal when I want to express my emotions and progress and express what’s going on in my life and how I feel about that.
Usually at night I shower, do yoga, etc. Basically i’ll do everything that i have to do, so once i start journaling i don’t have to leave my room again. I journal, then mediate and sleep and it clears my mind, making it easier to drift into a sleep.
I used to write in it in the mornings before I went for my walk. Niwbwithvthe winter and snow I don’t go out as often and def not in the mornings for my walk. So now I don’t at night before bed. Helps me think of my day as I fall asleep. But this month is getting hard for me to commit to any habits full heartedlyand I’m trying to understand why.
I think it’s best to write when I have something to reflect about. If I have a lot of thoughts, it’s helpful to write them down and organize them, rather than trying to dig through them all at once in my head. Once they are organized, it’s easier to process and think logically.
