Journal Writing

Personal journals are “for your eyes only,” but you can also write in an online journal or blog. Use your journal to reflect on your days and explore the inner landscape of your thoughts. To get started, follow these steps:

1. Collect the proper tools.

All you need is a notebook and a pen or pencil, or you can write on a computer—in a private journal or a blog. (See page 142 for a sample blog post.)

2. Choose a regular time and place to write.

If you’re a morning person, write when you get up. If you stay up late, write before going to bed. Also, find a comfortable place to write—a place where you can concentrate.
