By writing things down - especially difficult things- I got a distance to them, and i could analyse them, see if i was living by my values, and even if it was hard to see that, it still helped just putting the thoughts down on paper, and then I could go back and read old notes, and see if anything had changed since, and if not, why?

This course showed me better way to explore myself. I feel as if with journaling when I write whats easy I am being honest with myself, but when I find it hard to talk or write about a topic its my way of keeping me on track about what is truly bothering me/ on my mind

I lack clarity and focus, so I started to do journaling with 750words it made me feel good to write daily.

The templates were useful to look at, and I enjoyed Mike's introduction which explained really well the usefulness of journaling. I changed the structure of my journal so now it has three main sections; notable experiences, value based living and goals. I journal everyday before bed so just keep on doing that, and adapt my journaling style as it needs to be done.

I journaled every day on top of the journaling. I also mentally questioned myself during the day sometimes. Seeing thoughts as a more of a flag in the sand then actual truth is helpful. I really enjoy taking time to reflect.
