> Gosh,
> I write everything, the problems I have, the successes I have. Sometimes I do stream of conciousness writing, occaisionally I'll go on a poetry bend, but I have a separate book for that and do alot of that anyway by writing lyrics for my band, so mainly it's stuff that I feel like I want to work on, or am frustrated by. The reason you write 3 pages is that the first page, you're getting over the hump (until you get used to it)and then that's when you get to the real stuff. The last half of the last page you can use for affirmations to help change some of the intrinsic negative programming that you have. It's not hard and it's easy for me to keep going if I haven't written in a long time. I've really been thinking of writing my entire lifestory because I think it's actually a very interesting one. But that will be a separate endeavour.

> Getting over the hump is important because that's when your real feelings emerge. I highly recommend it, you'll learn a lot about yourself and it makes you feel grounded. I write first thing in the morning starting at 6:50 or 7:00 am and go until about 7:30. It requires alot of discipline, but it's well worth it.

starlightWOW!!! I just can't imagine writing 3 pages. I think I'd have a hard time writing 3 lines. What would I have to write. I'm feeling severely depressed and my meds aren't working and I've lost my friends once again. I really don't have any other than that to write. I guess I just miss the point, even though I know several people who journalize every day. I just wouldn't know where to begin. Every day would also be the same. What a boring read that would be. :(
