=] I’ve been seriously neglecting my journals, yes I have two. Spend months without writing though.
How to write in my journal more often
It made me 
"It's nice to be able to look back and see where I was some time ago. Now that I am writing more regularly than in the past, it is more gratifying."
How I did it: I write in one of my two journals three times a week, whether I have big things to say or very little. It's nice and meditative and something I look forward to.
Lessons & tips: Set aside time specifically to write. And withhold judgement, you aren't writing for a reward, you are writing for expressions sake, so just write what comes out!

Getting better

My boyfriend bought me these cute little journals for my birthday. They’re small enough that I can slip them in the pocket of my coat/sweater. It’s great because I can write whenever I feel the urge to do so.
Even more...

I’m journaling more and in a more sensible way. My maroon colored journal is for general reflections. Throughout my life, I’ve kept various reflective journals. Then I have a journal that I bought from Target that has sections divided by colors. In that journal I have two years worth of Best Year Yet. Now I’ve added a section on gardening and a section on diet and exercise(which may include other self care ideas.)
I don't want to do this everyday.

Just more. I used to do it all the time and I notice a difference when I do. It feels good, I can feel my mind working less on the same things over and over again. But then sometimes I open the book, get out the pen and I have nothing to write. Nothing worth writing – the words just don’t come. So then I let it build up to this thing where I have way too much to write and it overwhelms me and I don’t know where to start until the feelings pass me by. Maybe like once a week. Give or take.

It was going well until I got a bad case of the flu and just spent a few days basically sleeping and eating. So I didn’t wirte much. Then when I got better I didn’t really write anything.

Since I made this goal I’ve written in my journal several times. I’ve remembered how helpful it is to get things out and I don’t think this will be a hard habit to keep up!
I’m going to review again on my birthday in 2009 – 28th February and see if I’ve kept up with it. If I have, I can be quite certain I’ll be able to carry on, so will cross this off my list. :)
