Your Daily Journal Entries




HOW TO BEGIN YOUR JOURNAL ENTRY EACH DAY (or every time you journal)
1. Put the day, month, year, and time on the page.
2. Rate your day on a scale of 1-10. Explain.
3. 1-sentence summary of your day
4. 4-sentence summary of your day
5. What have you done, are doing, and will do today?
6. A journaling prompt of some kind.
7. Etc. Etc. Etc. Whatever you want. (Another journaling prompt, maybe.)
8. 3 memories from today
9. 3 memories from the past
10. Write about something in the past you wanted to write more about. 
11. Conclusion
12. Etc. Etc. Etc. Whatever you want.  (Another journaling prompt, maybe.)

For anyone who hasn't journaled before, or does not journal every day, start off with doing #1-3 each day. Once you do that for a week, add #4 for a week. Then, add #5 for another week. Etc. Do this until you do all 12. 

If you have journaled before, I would do at least #1-6 each day for a week. Then, add #7 for a week, #8 the next week, etc. until you are doing all 12.
