Hello again. Yes, it’s your journal, as Sad wrote; no wrong way, no right way to do it. Perhaps it is useful to think of what is going on for you today – in the ‘here and now’; practical things and also your thoughts and feelings; things that seem good, as well as what feels bad. As you think and write about ‘now’, you will inevitably talk about how you got to be in this place (physically and emotionally), so that will involve discussing the past. If you start thinking about how you would like things to become, you will inevitably consider your potential future. Past, present, future – all part of who you are right now. Make your journal a place to think ‘out loud’ about all this and see what comes back to you from others. The process itself will lead you.
The most important thing is that you use this process to help you.
