RT @stilllearning2b: Does anyone else write unsent letters (either to or from people) in their journals? #JournalChat YES! great tool.

stilllearning2b2:20pm via HootSuite

@WriteItOutJrnl Exactly! It's easy to stay in the negative and rumination (and does help some) but also need to move forward. #JournalChat

Important to make sure our journal writing doesn't stay in harmful venting or rumination mode. Some is ok. But expand.#journalchat
