I haven't practiced journalling for years, in fact the last time I did keep a diary of any kind was on my trip to Australia—over 10 years ago! I love going back and reading about my adventures down under. It's funny that I decided that this was a worthy time to write about my life, perhaps it was because I feel that without some extraordinary event to write about, it just isn't worthwhile.
Throughout my yoga instructors training we have been asked to do a fair amount of journalling—reflecting on things we've learned about ourselves during the training. One thing I noticed is that even though I am writing to myself and for myself, I still write as if it were to a broader audience, which leads me to wonder—am I being completely honest or am I holding back and editing the content slightly? I think this takes practice.
As I searched for an image for this post I stumbled across a blog that gives great tips on how to write a diary. Check it out here.
Blogging is a great way of journaling your life. I haven't journaled in ages, it's probably been about 8 or 9 years. But since i've been blogging it's been fun to look back on posts and see what I was up to, even it was only a year ago!
