I have developed this negative habit of pulling away from everyone, even myself when I feel ashamed of myself. This past week wasn’t very productive and as a result I didn’t write once in my journal. I commit to fixing this situation. 4 months ago

10/12 days. My parents came to visit yesterday and I lost the whole day as a result. I wrote a short entry today. Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to compensate. 4 months ago

8 entries in 9 days so far. I got a really pretty journal as a Christmas gift this year. The paper quality is really great which is a big deal for me. 4 months ago

I sporadically write in my journal, especially when I have some major issue I need to work out. I find that when life is going fair to great I leave my journal unattended for long periods at a time. More recently, I have been neglecting my journal even in the bad times. No wonder my mind feels so fuzzy!

I want to make the habit of journalling entrenched in my life because I never fail to get an insight when I take the time to sit with myself and write. 4 months ago

I love journaling, and keep a journal online. To help me with this endeavor I use the books on journaling that I have to do exercises from and respond to writing prompts. I also created a community online for journal enthusiasts to share their passion for journaling and explore resources for keeping with it:

I have been writing in journals for a long time. I consider this a habit that is firmly established – it can be removed from my list of goals. I found it important to find out how I like to write and draw in my journal. I like color, I like doodling, I like writing very short texts. I have a few books on journaling to inspire me. At the moment I like Raw Art Journaling by Quinn McDonald best. Creating my journal from index cards as I go along is a lot of fun – that is an idea I found very helpful in this book. 13 months ago

Today I wrote in my journal for the first time since I added this to my list! If I manage to write every day until the end of January, then I will consider that I have developed a good habit, and will mark it off my list. 16 months ago

been writing in 43things a lot, which feels kind of “journal-y” but it’s not really the same as a journal because other people read it. Sort of a public journal. I want to write in my journal more, I have these things I am trying to write for Self-Esteem and for Gratitude.. but I might just do it on 43things too. Maybe just writing in 43things will be my journal for now. I do write in it a lot. 18 months ago

pretty well, plus I started doing “self-esteem” journaling, which means I journal about my accomplishments or about characteristics of mine that I like. It supposedly helps to improve my self-esteem. 20 months ago

I will write down at least one thing I was happy about or grateful for each day. This task seems to make me focus on the positive and I like that. 21 months ago

Yesterday was my birthday, and as well as a beautiful dress my sister bought me a beautiful silk journal. Today I shall write in it for the first time and attempt to cultivate a good writing habit! 22 months ago
