When I first built my journaling habit as an angsty teenager, I wrote at night before bed. Each night I lightened my mind as I poured all of my scattered thoughts onto the page. My journal held my worries for me so I could rest from them overnight. Ending the day by focusing on what I was grateful for redirected my mind past the obstacles and into the solutions.
