Writing a Life Journaling is not a word you will find in many dictionaries. Journaling is quite simply writing down your thoughts, experiences and daily events.
Dialogue is involved.
In writing down what you experience, you find yourself able to review what you are writing and as you write, new thoughts come to you. You find yourself entering into almost a conversation with your journal and as you write, so you become clearer about the processes and experiences you are going through. You write and write and write. At first self-pityingly, then with interest as the secrets of your unconscious make themselves clear to you. Finally you arrive at an objective diagnosis of your condition and usually it is not so bad.
