I have spent about a week and a half working on my journal and attempting different ways of blogging it every night. It was really challenging to change the way you write about your day, I thought the hardest would have been writing from someone else's point of view but I actually found this quite easy. Although, I found it didn't display what I had been up to during the day.
I got a little caught up on What if? it was really hard to write about what might have happened especially when it was a good day anyway. It really made me think about a different journey my day might have taken.
Drawing a graph to explain your day was a bit daunting to begin with. I just sat and stared at the page for half an hour to try and work out what angle to take. Finally, I decided to draw 2 graphs, one showing thoughts and feelings and the other comparing my day with my day last week and last year. It was strange to see that I still have almost the same routine as last year. I suppose it is good to be consistent. I think I might try this again to see what other challenges days might bring and a graph shows emotion quite clearly and where my thoughts and feeling change over days and weeks.
I felt that the first few options I was already doing in my journals so it was strange to only write about one part as I felt I wasn't sharing my entire day and expressing it fully. Therefore I kept drifting back to what I was used to. I really enjoyed trying new ways of writing but I think I will stick to my original way and slip aspect of the other ways to strengthen my diary especially what if? as I feel this can be useful in widening the reasons of why it didn't happen that way. I believe everything happens for a reason.

Task 2a- Journal
I have begun the torment of writing my Journal. (HELP) writing about how I feel has never been an easy thing for me to do. With some people words just flow but I have to be in the right mind set to write things down. I am struggling with writing down my emotions and converting how I feel into words! It doesn't seem natural. However, I am going to see this task through and by the end I will be able to write down how I am feeling and maybe also how my actions have affected others. At the moment, my journal is just blurb, with no through line, however I am hoping in time I will start seeing a logical way of expressing myself through words. How are you finding it?
I think Task 2b will be useful for me, as it will give me an opportunity to experiment and find out which method is best for me.
