I’ve missed seven days of journaling in the last month plus (non consecutive though).
Thoughts: I’ve gotten some good insight from this time. Towards the end, it became more, “What are the important things that happened recently?” journaling.
I’ve put much less ritual-intent into this habit than with meditation. In the past week I changed my sleep schedule (I now sleep in till whenever instead of getting up with an alarm at 7am) which makes it slightly harder to ensure the sanctity of morning journaling, but I’m currently okay with that because sleeping more and getting up at my own pace has had a wonderful positive affect this past week (keeping a keen eye on if that trend continues).
It feels vaguely important to not go into this journaling with an agenda. I get more rewarding journaling when I wait until the thing that catches my interest most works its way to the top of my mind.
