Journey journal reflection

At the beginning of witting my journey journal I thought that when the moment came to give it in I would be trilled, but now that moment is here this isn’t the case. Those where my initial thoughts because when I was in high school my English teacher assigned a diary too, so for years I hated it and wasn’t too happy to do this once again. I find this to be ironic because writing is something that I really enjoy and do in my free time, although not in English. Now I know that my experience with this journal was totally different because I am now a different person and taking some free time to write, sometimes is just what I need. In addition the rules of the game were different because here I wasn’t just writing what I did on my day and thinking about it, here I could just let go of everything that I’ve been thought and let loose. When this process started it was very hard to let go and there was a lot of overthinking on what to write on my part. I was thinking so much of how difficult it was just to disconnect logical reasoning from my witting process that this became my main obstacle, it was a vicious cycle.

I don’t remember exactly what day it was, but one time I was so mad and had so much stress that I began writing and the ten minutes had passed so quickly that I almost didn’t remember what I wrote, when I read this entry was that I noticed that for the first time I had finally went for the jugular and had been writing unconstrained. So after this things got a lot easier and I was able to find out a lot about myself. For example now that I look back to my life compass numbers and what was written, everything was happier and more inspiring when I did it on the tranquility of my home and specially when there was music present. This makes a lot of sense to me because one of my biggest passions in life is creating rhythms so when I was surrounded by them my overall mood, physical wellbeing and even my spirituality was higher. The darkest entries and lowest numbers on my life compass where when either I had a lot of stress about my future, mainly because I’m graduating soon and the uncertainty is something which I don’t like, or when I was remembering some of the people that I’ve lost in the last few years.
