I've discovered so much about myself journaling. Journaling allows me to listen to myself in a way I cannot otherwise do; it separates me from my thoughts & feelings, which gives me the perspective I need to see myself a different way. I can't reliably get this meditating the way I can journaling. If you're a curious person, the habit of journaling is a fantastic engine to drive your curiosity inward, and is often quite fun and something to look forward to. It's also a great way to get better as a writer - writing 500+ words a day, and really thinking about the words being written, over a long period of time really adds up. I'm so much faster at writing than I was when I started.
