But in my digital journal, I have divided the pages into a few categories: reflections, ideas, poems &amp; quotes. Sometimes I write about my thoughts and actions and reflect on them in the reflections section. It can be daily or weekly or even every couple of days. If I get any new ideas or something I would like to try out, about anything really, I write them in ideas section. I also really like to read, interpret, and remind myself of poems and quotes that inspire me. Sometimes I even write my own stuff. For me, none of this is planned. I do think about these at night before bed, but it\u2019s not mandatory to journal.<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"thefa-test2 thefa-entity-placement\" id=\"thefa-2212733527\"><div id=\"thefa-2014814616\"><style>.thefa-test2 {margin-bottom: 24px;}<\/style>\r\n<div class=\"banner-content-position light-viol\">\r\n<div class=\"banner-text max400\">Stop wasting your mornings<\/div>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/start.thefabulous.co\/onboarding\/fabulous-initial?utm_source=community-qa&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=afterfirstquestionoranswer-purple-achievegoals\" class=\"banner-cta red w-inline-block\">\r\n<div>Build a better life<\/div><\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bea S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with &#39;how&#39; you&#39;re feeling, ignoring &#39;why&#39;. Just go through your physical sensations then emotional sensations. Trying not to use judgement language.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alex T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I started, I was writing about daily activities. Then I began to describe my feelings, my frustrations regarding other&#39;s actions affecting my life. Then I made comparisons between what &#39;good&#39; or what &#39;bad&#39; could happen in various situations. If I felt others judge me, I was writing about it and analysing if that was the case or not. When I was judging others, I was writing to check if my judgement is right. In general, I write in my journal the good and the bad from my day to day life. For anxious people, this habit is spectacular because it will highlight the amount of good&#39; present in their lives, about they are not aware it occurs. People need to experiment with Journals for a while so they can feel the outcome. It&#39;s like a diet; the significant change will be noticeable in two or three months from the start.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jen E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should write whatever you want in your journal &#8211; it\u2019s yours! Sometimes it\u2019s difficult to know, but the Fabulous prompts help me. I find that once I start writing something, more usually follows &#8211; as you take a step along the way, the way illuminated for you.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brooke S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Anything you want! I practice tarot, so before I go to bed I pull a card and write down its meaning. You can write poetry, describe your day, vent about something that happened, etc.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jen E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Write what comes to mind in your journal. Try not to over-think it at the beginning: your thoughts will unfold as you write. Use the quotes to start you off, it think of one thing about your fabulous journey that you have learnt or focused on recently and just go from there. It doesn\u2019t have to be Earth-shattering, but it does have to be honest.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jamie N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">This week I have been writing inessential negative thoughts about myself. By putting them on paper and walking away they\u2019re silences, and the urge to silence them with alcohol is removed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Darlene C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019ve been keeping a daily journal since I\u2019ve been 10.  I\u2019m 61 now.  I write how I\u2019m feeling, my thoughts, a quick prayer, a quick note of gratitude for something, snapshots of anything that\u2019s going on, audiobook insights: sometimes an entry is just one line, sometimes 1&#x2F;2 a page, sometimes 3 pages.  Just an historical record of snipets of my life and who I\u2019ve been along the journey.  I use colored pens and stickers, and add sayings and Facebook posts that are reflective of what\u2019s happening on a given day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ashley U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I write about my thoughts and feelings of the day, but I also look up journaling prompts online and have a whole other journal for writing those. I think they are cool to go back on later on. In a couple years time and see how life has changed.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anya N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You should write whatever you feel you need to reflect on- do you want to capture the beautiful moments of your day? Do you want to lay out your worries so you can forget about them before bedtime? Do you have creative ideas you want to brainstorm or organize? Do you want to improve your writing skills? It can be whatever you want it to be!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dimitris Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I write about ny day. Things that happened and mattered. I write how I felt, what could have be done differently and what I will do if this happens agains. In the end, I write 3 positive things that happened in my day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Shine A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you journal in the morning write down your thoughts soon as you awake. In the evening  write down your feelings throughout the day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mariam R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Feelings. Don\u2019t be ashamed of them. Write them down. All your thoughts and emotions should be heard. And what\u2019s better than a silent journal for that? Journal for yourself, don\u2019t care whether someone grabbed it, read it or laughed. IT BELONGS TO YOU. IT\u2019S YOUR MINDS HOME. You could describe a dream of yours, a journey you\u2019re planning for or repressed feelings. After you\u2019re done, reflect.
