#JournalChat pain is part of life--suffering is optional. That's why getting to step 2 quickly is good.

StephenVanVugt3:54pm via TweetChat

@JournalChat I do the same with poetry. For dialogues, I use a different colour pen depending on who is speaking. #JournalChat

StephenVanVugt3:53pm via TweetChat

@JournalChat I use one pen at a time, yes. A quote at the top of the page is red, my reflection on it blue.#JournalChat

@StephenVanVugt Do you keep what you write separate in your entry based on the color, using one pen at at time? switch pens? #JournalChat

MT @JournalChat: @rusvw13 when journaling on a regular basis, you know why you trust the process; you see the evidence/benefit. #journalchat

JournalChat3:49pm via HootSuite

@OutOTWhirlwind Yes, it's important to know where we want to be so we can work on getting ourselves to that place. #JournalChat

rusvw133:49pm via TweetChat

How many of you use color (paint, pencils, markers) in your journals? #Mandala #journaling is also much like #photo journaling. #journalchat

OutOTWhirlwind3:49pm via web

#JournalChat step 3 would be finding the action steps to get there.

#JournalChat step 2 would be stepping back and looking at it from a different perspective--how would we want things to be.

OutOTWhirlwind3:45pm via web

#JournalChat step 1 is getting clear on the issue and figuring out what the experience (e.g. stress) is about.
