I really enjoyed this. My journaling practice has shifted in the past few years. I used to record the mundane details of my day, but now I record more of my thoughts and feelings. This made me think that I should go back to recording some of those small, seemingly insignificant parts of my day. I love going back and reading those entries.

I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it. I find those mundane records even more valuable in a way because they often disappear more fully if not captured. Thank you for the kind words 🤍

I've been trying to do this since picking up 'The Artist's Way' and her recommended practice of 'Daily Pages,' which aren't exactly journaling. On the days I can do it, I find it really helps a lot--in terms of both slowing me down (which is good for me) but idea generation.

How about you? A favorite insight?

I think what I like the most is how it allows my mind to get to an image or idea almost…easily. A reminder that “I don’t have anything to say” can be easily dispelled. It’s like this positive, small charm that stands up against what you think is so much bigger.

It’s so great. I’m going through it slowly, just so it won’t end!
