Reading Is Optional...

These pages are relatively neat, but look at the pages of my private journal and it looks like a drunken spider has walked through an ink puddle. Even I sometimes struggle to read what’s on those pages, and I wrote them.

But that’s OK, because journaling doesn’t have to be for keeping a record of things we want to remember, it can just be to work out what we’re really thinking in that moment, or for clarifying our ideas, understanding our emotions, or maybe just giving ourselves a kick up the backside.

Writing Things Down helps.

Reading them afterwards is optional…
