Shamelessly pointing to the journaling community: !journaling@sh.itjust.works. There is also a great introduction in the !nanowrimo2@feddit.online community.
I journal mostly because I like writing and the ritual of sitting down (usually with a hot chocolate) and thinking about what is going on inside my head. It’s like someone asking “how was your day” and you tell them. Sometimes nothing special, sometimes a lot and sometimes you think it has not been much, but once you start it all falls into place and the thoughts and emotions start to come up. I don’t do it daily, but multiple times per week.
There are many ways to journal. You can use prompts, if you are unsure what to write about. It can be more shallow, like what has happened during the day. Or more deep to explore your feelings. Some like to track what’s going on in their life and it’s actual closer to a logbook. But that’s fine as well. It has to fit for you after all and will probably change as you go along and get more comfortable with it.
And, to be honest, sometimes it’s a good excuse to buy that pretty notebook I saw in the store…
Oh I love this! And it is a great way to journal and keep the memories of all the travels and important events.
And see, I always feel boring because I just write to journal. I was already proud when I had one train ticket from my last travel, which I could put inside my journal :D
