Journaling is a really good way to problem solve your life problems

Or at least strategize

I dunno how I ever got by before I started journaling stuff 😔

really? I found it led me to feel as though I wallowed in my own self loathing and misery.
Hmm.. I should try it differently.

@TwiddlerofThumbs it was like that for me at first too,

But then I started looking at it like a way to solve my problems on paper,
Sorta like when we sometimes solve math problems on paper instead of in our head,

Its also good if you're easily distracted because you can pick up where you left off ,😅

@Fishy so true!! really, i'll just do it differently now. that's a sound plan.
I work out al sorts of other things on paper. why not me?

@TwiddlerofThumbs I forgot to mention too,
That I used to use CBT templates when I journal,
It helped a lot because it asked basic questions that got me to challenge my problems head-on,

just thought I'd share 😅
