Ask yourself how your routines, habits, and various activities you are doing are making you feeling. - If you want to start really small ask yourself in the morning while brewing coffee, or waking up, "how am I feeling right now? Where do I feel it in my body? How would I like to feel?" - Journaling is just reflection. That's it. - Before systematizing your journaling you should know the objective. To ask two questions: who am I? Who do I want to become? - The tool you come to journaling matters much less than doing the practice. Marcus Aurelius didn't have Obsidian when he was journaling thousands of years ago.
