Very sound advice Liam! Journaling changed the direction of my life in 1995 and I was amazed at the result of it. And I was well into my long journey. I really appreciate your sharing your journey. It will help those who can "hear" it.

I just read the article by the AI in the Guardian. It had a link to your blog so I came here and found this article. It is interesting the insight that you found from journaling. I guess I hadn't ever considered doing it for that purpose, and instead do other things, but now I think I will also do journaling. Your method is really good. I will use a calendar app to make sure I reread my entries.

Recently, I started doing mindfulness meditation. In the class, we are also learning different ways of examining how we change our lives based on our decisions. The teacher has given me a daily log where I write down what I have done all day. It was very helpful to see how my perceptions of what I do, and what I actually do, are very different. I'll bet journaling is similar, but on a long-term basis.
