Journaling - The Write Stuff For You?

There's a difference between keeping a diary and keeping a journal. With a diary, you make daily entries. With a journal, you make regular entries-- several times a week, every week, or every other week. There's a new kind of journaling, too, a One-Word journal. At the end of the day, you think of words that describe the day: rushed, anxious, hopeful, etc. Then you pick the one word that describes you best and write it on the calendar or in a small notebook. Over time, these words describe your journey.

@harriethodgson1 I hadn't heard of the One-Word Journal. Interesting idea, and it can be a way to jumpstart a stalled practice of writing. For me, writing of any sort can be cathartic, or very insightful. Thank you for that idea.
Whether journaling or keeping a diary [everyday] just get it out and down on paper! That's my motto. And it isn't always about my life. It can be a commentary on events /people in my life.

Hello @harriethodgson1
This One Word journal is a great idea. It's a way to think back on the day and get in touch with feelings.
I'm thinking that it can be used in addition to regular journaling.
