I never thought I would be a journaler, but got into it by accident. I read self improvement books regularly, and I started keeping a journal of what I was reading. I try to read 10 pages each day, and at the end of my section I just write a paragraph summarizing what I had read. After awhile the summaries started naturally including examples from my life so that I could remember the points better. And my own personal goals and aspirations. Once I was there it isn't that different from a standard "life" journal, but having the book you are reading really gives you a crutch to lean into and grow off of.
