Journal review how to write Videos

Great presentation, I found it very helpful. Thank you

I know this is quite an old video, but are you still writing daily? I've been going now for just over 6 months and I really hope that I can make it until at least a year.

I would just like to ask if you have a certain spot you keep your completed journals? I really want to keep them on my bookshelf but the only thing that is holding me back is the prying eyes of other family members! As my journals are quite personal and private, I was just wondering if you have them stashed somewhere or not? :)

I am really enjoying your series on journal keeping and was so happy to see another installment. Your videos have been very inspiring! I used to journal a lot when I was a teenager and as I got older would journal some, but wasn't quite as dedicated and eventually, except for an occasional entry, stopped. In the summer of 2013 I decided to start another journal after many years of not even thinking about keeping a one. I still didn't write very often and my last entry was December 2013. I started again in August of this year and have been much better at writing. About the middle of September I decided to try to write everyday even if only a line or two. It wasn't easy at first but now that I've started writing daily about anything and everything, I can write at least two pages daily - many days even more. Lately I've been writing a little first thing in the morning and again in the evening. I am now a believer in writing everyday - the more often I write, the more I write. I look forward to sitting down with journal and pen and just letting myself go.

I feel like daily journaling is the best thing you can do. It's all about the habit. If I don't at least try to do it daily I can go by months without journaling. Acutally, I filmed a video last week about 750words. I haven't edited it yet, but I think it will go online in 2 weeks or so. I talked about the morning pages concept of writing 3 pages every morning. I don't know if you ever heard of 750words.com It's the same concept, write 750 words every day. I'm on a 49 day streak at the moment. 50 after I write my daily pages today :D It's so easy once you are in a streak to keep going. Otherwise I would have stopped a few times in between. I mean 750 words is quite a big commitment. It really is a lot more than I would write per hand in a journal. I write just the way I think, sometimes everything's mixed up. I also definitely try to write down what I did the day before. I love to write down my dreams, tasks that annoy me, .... I also use metadata - Sleeping hours, weather, time, location, sounds, food/drinks I have while writing & on a 1-10 scale how happy & busy I am.

It used to be very hard for me to journal every day, because I felt nothing happened that was worth writing about. I got over that, and try now to write as much as possible, and that resulted in 2014 being the most written year so far.

Love this! Totally agree about writing every day. I write whenever I can. Looking forward to the next journal video! Thanks.

I'm currently on my second journal and I have been feeling it's nowhere near as good as my first in terms of what I've been writing. I think you may have solved that problem for me, I wrote waaay more frequently in my first, I guess just because I was trying to form the habit with myself. But now I only write 2-3 times a week because either I'm busy or feel like nothing significant has happened. Consequently when something I feel worth remembering does happen I tend to forget, guess I need to discipline myself again. Thanks for helping me realize! 

Omg!! You have the deathly hallows on your journal. The half blood prince was my favourite book. I'malso a lord of the rings fan, i can write in elvish!! #suchageek!! I keep a journal too!! Xxx

The lady on the video is Lady Gaga's cousin.

That describes me a lot, thanks for sharing this valuable meeting.. We , as doctors write to express whatever sticks into our minds from emotions to traumatic experiences in a loyal meaningful way.
