Go Back and Read Old Journals

Published: September 4th 2022, 4:30:37 am

You could burn your own journals if they make you cringe OR you can grab a highlighter and deep dive into the story of your own evolution. Study your patterns, harvest your quotes and see clearly with hindsight and written proofs your before and after growth moments. I’m usually reading two to three months in the past. It takes me about a month to read through an old journal, reading a few pages a day. As I read, I highlight, underline and type up the good stuff. I transfer it to a word document to be stored, backed up, referenced in creative projects and published.
