I have kept and written journals dating back to 1972.
It wasn't until I read a life changing book that was recommended to me by a fellow artist and art therapist, that I daily journeled since 1993. The book,The Artist Way, by the writer Julia Cameron suggests that in order to tap into your creative psyche you participate in daily morning pages, three pages regardless of the page size, for a period of a month. She then encourages people to continue with this excercise everyday there after. When I did this it began for me a life changing experience and helped me to understand that I could actualize some of my dreams as creative person, and better understand myself, my thought processes, and my beliefs.
I am wondering what others have experienced if they have journeled regularily and how this effected and change them and there lives. Namaste

I sometimes use my blog as a journal, but that's all. I've tried to have a paper journal as well, but then I sometimes forgot to write in it, then it become something I was forcing myself to do and then I lost any interest in it.

If you can go find Julie Cameron's book and she explains how journeling can benefit your life and change it. For me it is a discipline but one that has become such a habit that I can't go much longer then a week without doing it and then I really start to notice that I don't feel right. To me it is a form of prayer. It doesn't matter if sometimes you forget, but I had to keep at it long enough so that it became a habit I wanted to keep because after having done it for a longer period of time I began to benefit from it in many ways and it actually changed my life. Don't give up! Namaste - Littleironhorse
