Week 55 - Journaling

“In the journal I do not just express myself more openly than I could to any person; I create myself.” (Susan Sontag)

​

Lots of authors I've been reading over the last while are advocates for the power of journaling. Recently, I listened to a Ryan Holiday podcast where he gives a number of tips for gathering momentum with this practice, including starting with one line a day. My own journaling process takes the form of the images above, the ones I share on a weekly basis here. For me, it's an ongoing means of exploring the books and articles I read, podcasts and music I listen to and conversations I engage in. 

​

Question: What is your experience of putting pen to paper in any form that could be considered similar to journaling?
