When I started journaling again in 2020, it had been several years since I was in the practice of writing. I journaled my whole life, not consistently (clearly) but with dedication since grade school. Journaling is my therapy, even when I have a therapist. It is a place where I witness myself the most authentically. There are a few things that keep me coming back to my journal writing practice. I’m sharing them in case they are helpful for you too!
