@lakesofdelray The best way to start is to simply start! As you look through the posts here, you will see references to classes, or books. There are several ways to journal, and you might find yourself experimenting with different ways to find one that you like. And nothing says you need to stick with one method! Some people try art journaling along with written word. Do you want to do a letter to yourself/someone else as a way to write about your day and things you are going through? Would you like to try doing poetry? Writing down what you see each morning, or at the end of each day? You might want to look into using a prompt or "trigger" to start your entry. My father was an avid journaler, and he always started with the weather, where he was at, the time of day, so it gave him a reference point.

If you google "journaling for beginners" there are many ideas and websites to check out! From Betterup.com: https://www.betterup.com/blog/how-to-start-journaling and their suggestions may be something you'd like to read up on.

I would love to hear again from you, telling me what success you have had, and how this new journey has been for you. Could you do that? And remember, don't "should" on yourself. No "I should write today" No "I should get started on journaling" No "I should do this particular style" Don't do that!
