It has been one week since I started this daily journal and I have to say: I kinda like it. I really enjoy the process of reflecting about what I do and think each day and then picking one of these things and writing a journal entry about them. This level of self-reflection is something that I think will slowly improve my life over time.

Also, I think leaving the overall topic of this journal blank and just writing about whatever I feel like writing about, actually helped me to keep at it without it ever feeling like a chore I have to do. Of course Iā€™m only one week into at least several more months of journaling, but still it already feels easier to do than my other attempts at journaling.

There are also a lot more things I want to try with these journal entries. I like the idea of having weekly or monthly reviews were I can look at what I achieved in that time and then set my focus for the upcoming week or month. These will probably not be some specific tasks, but rather a more general focus on specific hobbies or personal habits like sleeping or eating.

I also thought about doing weekly music reviews, where I listen to an entire album and then give a brief opinion. Or maybe I name my most listened song for that week and discuss a little about why I like that song or what emotions it evokes in myself.

Iā€™m really excited to see how this daily journal will evolve over the next couple weeks and months! šŸ˜
