Hello everyone,
what journaling methods work out for you?
I am establishing a habit of journaling in the evening as a way to wind down, reflect and to find out more about myself. So far I tried two approaches, none of which suited me entirely. The first one was "Morning pages" exercise from "The Artist's Way", where in the morning you write a few pages in free flow which are not to be read again. It's purpose is to declutter your mind at the beginning of the day to unlock creativity. The second was "Count your wins" exercise from "Mindset Matters Most", the point of which was to build self confidence (a side goal of journaling for me as well). None were ideal for me, although part of it is on me as I did not approach it as a program, which I maybe should have. I do plan to return to Mindset Matters Most and treat it as a program.
I am sure that it can be as easy as to pick up a pen and write whatever comes to mind. Nevertheless, as with most things, I believe that there are better ways to do it. What are yours?
