Writing in your journal is the most basic, direct, truly the least you can do to say hi to yourself. Mema always says\u2014 \u201cpay yourself first.\u201d In this way, once I dump all that junk into my private pages, a safe space, they make the words easier to come back to when I really need to express them to someone else.

Well, in my opinion, the best way to journal is the way that you\u2019ll actually journal. For example, I keep a digital journal in the notes section on my phone for when I\u2019m on the go or don\u2019t have the time or space to write in a notebook. Some people only write in short bullet points because it\u2019s time-efficient. Some people carve out times one or two days a week to journal and commit to it. Some people do any combination of those things, or all of the above. What do you think would work best for you? What way of journaling would best serve you?<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">N Bia C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It&#39;s easier to make it a habit if you do it daily. You could make it easier by committing to just one sentence a day. If you feel like it, you can always write more.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samantha C.
