Making A Daily Journal

In your journal, write the lessons you have learned, the good that you do, the good that happens to you, any insights, your successes, and your mistakes. Consider each day then review to see how you are doing. Each day, encourage yourself with your successes and bring the mistakes into perspective. Observe patterns and look for ways to change those patterns. Recovery is not a straight line process. If you were to chart your progress, it would look like the graph of the stock market. Just when you think you are doing well, the graph takes a dip. So expect it. Writing in a journal will give you a better perspective in life. It helps you look at a bigger picture and see how you are getting there, one step at a time. It will remind you of all the little things you have accomplished.
