> I must acknowledge my internal dialogue - more than one voice with differing perspectives that both reside inside of me. This means making my entry more of a dialogue, one that explores many avenues and looks at things from all sides. I once took the approach of journaling in a spreadsheet to address this. It was actually pretty useful. I took two approaches: - A column per "aspect", and row per topic. I factored time out of the equation, and let each cell mature and become more well articulated. Not every aspect had something to say about every topic. - A column per "aspect" and a row per day, allowing variance in the topic. Each cell becomes what that voice is saying at the given time. This let me see both evolution of thought and accumulation of thought. It lead to me having a very full and rich understanding of myself at the time and what I thought and felt. Ultimately, it did quite well at getting me through a tough time and helping me make decisions on very difficult topics.
