For years now I have tried to keep a private journal, and never been truly successful with it. It seems like I get into it and write consistently at least for a few days, but then fall out of the routine and then struggle with picking it back up, until the journal gets tossed into the corner on top of the stack of other partially filled journals that have also been abandoned with time and that are now collecting dust. I have tried both digital and physical journals, with the same outcome, abandonment once my brain decides it’s had enough and I forget about it.
Frustratingly though, I know that Journaling really helps me mentally and if I could just stick with it, I think it would be super beneficial. So once again I’m going to try and journal. This time I’m going to set a “strict” rule with myself that I need to write at least something, even something minor, at least once a day. Hopefully this goes better than the 1000 other times!
