    Daily journal writing is the ultimate cheatcode to personal insights and self development.

    Fuck whatever Instagram-spirituality associations it gives you. It really works (okay, for me at least).

    Just 10 minutes of stream of consciousness writing about whatever I ate for breakfast and my plans for today, ssemingly out of nothing thoughts about intimate personal issues and whatnot, surface.

    Give it a try. It's like free therapy.

    Remember, NO ONE has to (and optimally should) read it but you.

    • Start writing about whatever you want, see where it goes. Those are the instructions ;)jagara
    • < i tried this and determined NOT to write about breakfast etc. i accidentally unleashed my subconscious which was so dark twisted and worrying...hans_glib
    • ...that i destroyed the journal and vowed never to do that again. the monstr was put back in it's box thank godhans_glib
    • And that monster is now subconsciously controlling all your actions XDjagara
    • haha - but it always has/had. but i never knew just how grim it was until i started the journal. my dad always said i had worms in my head - if only he knew...hans_glib
    • Make friends with your monster. That's the whole point, dude! :Djagara
    • The monster is part of you, is you!

    • I like the idea, I fill tons of notebooks with, sketches, doodles and writings, during my work-days... A journal? Why not, more time far from screens :)OBBTKN
    • I do the same thing. BTW in psychology it is used in CBT therapy. It does help.renderedred
    • it's taught in business schools. it's a well known tool. keep doing it, for the rest of your life. or meditate daily. works wonders also.uan
    • No offense, but it sounds like some fucking commie gobbledygook.palimpsest
    • @palimpsest whatever your political leanings: writing your your thoughts daily can give you a personal outlet, and give you personal insights :)jagara
    • I just remembered you're a commie, never mind :Djagara
    • lol, indeed!
      It's a Norm Macdonald reference.
      But it speaks well of your approach. You handled it in the best way possible. <3      palimpsest
