How to journal regularly
It made me
thoughtful
 "Dear Diary..."
How I did it: Thanks to a comment here on 43T, I decided to try writing in my journal daily, whether I felt like I had anything to say or not. (I'm working to rebuild my daily routine anyway, so adding a few minutes in the morning to write in my journal only seemed logical.) It might not work for everyone, but, once I got into the habit, it was easy to stick with it.

It made me 
How I did it: There's no other way to do it - just remind yourself to keep picking up that piece of paper and pen, and just WRITE! There are some days when you have a lot to say, and some days where nothing happens at all....I have to say that after regularly journaling for a 2 years, it lost it touch though. Read how I did it…

It made me
contemplative
How I did it: It was something I did in fits and starts, but when I moved house and re-read some of my old books I realised how valuable it is to me as a resource. I hope to write a book one day, and it's surprising how many little incidents or thoughts from everyday life can be interesting to work with - things you would probably forget about all together if you didn't jot them down.It's also great to catch up with a younger you, you may find that you… Read how I did it…
It made me
slightly more sane
How I did it: Basically, I just got a Jack Sparrow notebook on a whim (this was back when PotC was fairly new and I had the entire first movie memorized) and I gradually just started writing random thoughts down until eventually I was writing everything down. Read how I did it…

I am not journalling,
1 month ago
But I am blogging. It isn’t the same, that is for sure, because my blog is about weight loss and related issues, but at the same time, I am having fun writing about some things that bother me. Nothing is more fun than writing about things that bother you. It is like the best part of journalling! Shortly I will start my own blog blog and journal away.

Journal

I’ll start tomorrow. Half a year was the longest period I written a journal regularly, so my goal will be to write regularly for at least a year. Wish me luck. :)

regularly...

I keep my journal next to my bed. What to write? When is it important enough? How much to write? then I put the book down and I go months without writing a word.

Disconnected
6 months ago
I have been feeling disconnected from myself lately. I have been busier than usual and I am doing, doing, doing just as 43things would suggest. However, I am focusing on the external… and I am out of touch with what’s going on inside! I would like to reconnect and journaling is a great way to do that!
Journaling

I love words! They can do so much- make you laugh, cry, bring back a fond memory, record an event that is meaningful in your life, take the sting of anger out of your voice before you have a difficult conversation with someone you love. I want to learn more words, learn to express myself better, record the dreams I still want to accomplish and remember the joys and sorrows that have shaped me. I think journaling can help me do this.
And that is regularly enough for me. Daily entries are great, but as long as I feel like I’m keeping it up, I’ll consider this goal complete. Will revisit again if I start to slack off.

I have a 'livejournal'

but going back and looking at your old handwriting and doodles and the emphasis put on various words and everything is so much more enjoyable than re-reading pages of text on the computer. I bought a cute little green notebook not too long ago and i journaled for about a week, however i want to make this a habit. I think I can do it. I have all sorts of ideas for simple things to write about because of all the goals I have read about on here. Such as writing about compliments given and received, things you are grateful for, or even summing up the day in one sentence. So, I think if i can’t write every detail of my day i want to at least write something about it to reflect on later. I am starting a new diet/exercise regime today, why not add a few more goals to the list of things to get started on today?
