Journaling

I’ve been playing around with the thought for several years. Last week I finally committed to it. I bought a journal. I bought it at Weight Watchers so, a part of the reason for the journal is for me to record and  review my eating and wellness habits. Which I did this past week and noticed some interesting habits.

  

But this journal has a lot more to it. There are many many blank pages just waiting for me to fill. I’m unsure what I will write there. I never wrote in a diary so those blank pages seem a bit challenging to me.

  

Do you journal?

Interesting. I do not use a "book" I used to keep notes in a Reporter's Notebook that fit in my suit jacket pocket. Now with iPhone and iPad, anything relevant I record in the notes on the calendar. I do record concerts & shows I attend and the setlists. Testimonies I deliver get posted to my website. Conferences I speak at or organize get added to my CV (which is also on line.) And of course many of my Gotham blogs are "records."

On 1/1/70 I started my Diary and continue to date. I fashion it as a letter to my wife Joanne and they take up 2 book case shelves. I suspect it is a source of therapy and know it records our history and enhances memory as I read a year ago today and 34 years ago today (I started reading it 117 years ago). I highly recommend it!

I had a journal that I religiously entered in every night for about 5 years back in the mid 90's. I used a spiral notebook and wrote very quickly, and usually illegible to anyone else to read. I found it therapeutic to get my thoughts out on paper, specially through some difficult times. Once I met my now wife, I gave it up. In fact cleaning out house recently, I parted with all those note books. It had served its purpose. But would I recommend it to anyone thinking about starting one.

I love journaling, it's very cathartic, especially when you go back and re read some important milestones. Just make sure you purchase something that is suited to the way you write.

I do a gratitude journal before I go to sleep. I used to just say 3 things I'm grateful for and then at the start of the year a colleague and I invited our teams to do a written journal. It was a way to focus on the positive during the pandemic. We record 5 things and then read them out loud in the morning. It's a wonderful way to end the day and a powerful way to start.

I do journal. It's a great thing to do when I don't have someone to talk to. I never read my old ones, I wonder what I'll find when I do.
