Keep a notebook (Jack London)

Wie geht's?

Following Ryan Holiday's push in Stillness Is The Key, I've started a nightly routine of writing a journal entry before heading to bed.

I've kept journals/diaries off and on for decades. Mostly it's been when I've traveled overseas. I always keep a journal then because so much happens in a day - it's good to keep a record, and yes, I do re-read them from time to time. They conjure up great memories/feelings.

A daily journal is different though and I'm aiming to not just do a list of what happened in the day. Instead, I'm aiming to use it to get things off my chest, have quiet time with my thoughts, clarify those thoughts, and separate the harmful from the insightful.

But, as Ryan points out - there is no right way or wrong way, the point is just to do it.

So, I've carved out a space - just before bed each day, for a few minutes of reflection that both demands, and creates, stillness.

Love and peace - Wozza
