WELCOME TO A NEW BLOG POST SERIES: DAY 1
A 30-Day Journal About the Last Year:
The Remembering Your Present Journal Keeping Series, Vol. 6
Welcome to a new blog post series, A 30-DAY JOURNAL ABOUT THE LAST YEAR.
This blog post series will help us look at the last year of our lives, no matter what day it is we start to read and complete this blog post series. You can start it just as easily on 18 March as the 18th of November.
What is important to note is that you have lived another year, another month, another week, another day, another hour, another minute, and another second. There is a reason why you are alive. Today marks the day you see why--through looking back to see from whence you have come. In other words, where have you come over the last year? That's what we will investigation over the next 30 days.
Everyday is going to have enough material for you to spend two to three hours each day journaling. I would rather give you too much information than not enough, after all. Plus, you can do different things every time you look at this book that way. After all, this book is meant to be repeated periodically (at least once each year, preferably twice, ideally three times a year.). Consequently, do not think you have to do it all. I recommend doing at least three items each day, if not more. But, if you are strapped for time, do item #1 at the very least.
Today is the day we will just look at things off the cuff. Do not look at your calendar or planner.
JOURNALING PROMPTS:
1. Do not even look at any past past journal entries. Just off the top of your head, journal your response to this question:
What have you experienced the last year?
Write the first things that come to mind. It does not matter if it makes sense or not. Just write down whatever comes to your mind, when it comes to your mind. Keep writing until you cannot think of anything else to say.
2. Ask yourself the question again and do the same thing again. Write fast and as much as you can. When you get stuck, stop.
3. Repeat this one more time.
4. Now, go back and read what you just wrote with prompt #1-3. And, see if anything you read sparks any new or different ideas to write in response to the original question: What have you experienced this year?
5. List as many memories (good, challenging, memorable, and indifferent) as you are able.
6. What did you do this year? What experiences have you had this year?
7. What do you remember most from this year? List as many things as you can. Be thorough.
8. What do you wish you could do again from this year?
9. Where did you go this year?
10. Was it a good, challenging, unusual, or indifferent year? Explain your response.
11. What was most memorable about this year? List your number one item.
12. What have you experienced this year? Write your response--even if you repeat anything of what you have already written. try to come up with some new material as well.
