​
Overview: Journal writing – the process of putting your thoughts down on paper and reflecting on them – is an easy, therapeutic practice that helps you begin a constructive dialogue with yourself.
Developing self-awareness is a life-long undertaking, but a regular writing habit can fast-track your discoveries. The moment you ask ‘Who am I?’ or ‘Is this it?’ you become a witness to your own life, your strengths, challenges and dreams.​
​
The process is private and personal. It is an individual journey that you take at your own pace and in your own way. You don’t need writing ability; all you need is some quiet time and a willingness to get to know yourself. There are no rules to journal writing and no guarantees of where it will take you. What it will do, however, is give you a route into your inner world, help you process change and discover hidden resources.
