I love to journal, for me my journal is my best friend. I have noticed when I am not journaling there is a disconnect within myself. I love what you have written

Yes, I can definitely attest to this feeling. For my overly analytical self, sometimes journaling makes me focus even more on something I just need to set aside for the moment.

@Vitaliy I certainly haven’t experienced a negative day after journaling negative thoughts. In fact I probably feel a little clearer and lighter once I get worrying/negative thoughts out of my head and down onto the paper. For I feel like I’m “letting go”. Carole

I thought I’d add my two cents here as well.
I’ve read an interesting book on journaling (can’t recall the title at this moment) but nevertheless, it talked a lot about not censoring. So I don’t! However it seems that when I write a negative entry, the following day seems to go very badly. I am in a terrible mood the next day or sometimes longer.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Maybe someone has some input on this?

Thank you

Journal writing is so important. The amazing thing though is that we only appreciate it’s power down the road when, in weeks, months and years to come, we open it again and read what we wrote. Then, and only then, does the true amazing power of journaling become clear as day and activated!

I’ve noticed that I need to journal when I feel confused. I always get clarity on situations when I write. It’s such a wonderful part of life.

Happy New Year Joh, great to hear from you again.

Gosh, I’m very impressed 20 years of journalling. I must say even though journal writing has come in and out of my life I have a distinct feeling that it may be staying this time.

I’ve also recently started morning pages from Julia Camerons book the artists way. 3 pages of uncensored writing I find very cleansing.

Peace, love and mango’s (may the season never end)

I have been journalling for over 20 years! It is my one true lifelong friend (along with reading). It’s my sincere record of learning. I have a blog to demonstrate to the world my learnings that I am comfortable with, yet my personal journal is where I just blah. It feels good. It saves me from being negative in my conversations in the world. I can’t speak highly enough of the personal joy of journalling. As a teacher, if I encourage my students to journal I feel I have achieved something of value.
