A Daily Journal
A daily journal is simply where you write down your day's experiences and your thoughts about them. Journals like this are great at helping us reflect on our day. When we do this, we start learning from our mistakes, and it makes it easier for us to make smart decisions in the future. They are also fun to look back at after years pass and remember special moments in our lives. A daily journal would be a great way for you to identify and break bad patterns in your life, as well as keeping all of your memories!

A Food Journal
There are two great reasons for keeping a food journal: 1) you are trying to lose weight; or 2) you are trying to discover what is making you feel a certain way. Writing down what you eat, how much of it, and at what time of day can really help you start thinking about your food choices and their impact on your overall health. Give it a try! You might really learn something new about your eating habits.

An Exercise Journal
An exercise journal can help you reach your fitness goals and hold you accountable to yourself for your exercise choices. It can also help you discover what time of day you perform your best, what other things impact your workouts, and what kind of progress you are making toward your fitness goals!

A Goals Journal
Writing down your goals for each day, week, month, year, decade, etc., can really help keep you on the right track to making all of your dreams come true. It doesn't matter what kind of goals they are--everything goes. From the smallest goals to the lifetime goals, write them all down and reflect on your daily choices and how they relate to achieving or distracting you from your goals. You might be surprised at how effective this kind of journaling can be!

A Gratitude Journal
Saying thanks always makes a difference. So try saying thanks to yourself and the world around you with a gratitude journal! Start or end each day by simply jotting down everything you are thankful for. Try hard not to repeat things that you write down. This makes it so you begin having to look at the little things in your life that make you happy. Often, when we look for things, we find them, so the gratitude journal begins to bring you more things to be thankful for. It is an amazing way to help you realize all that you have to be thankful for!

A Work Journal
A work journal is a great way to help you keep on top of what you have accomplished and what your work-related goals are. This can be handy if you have tasks you only do once or twice a year (Your journal reminds you of dos and don'ts you discovered the last time.) or if you ever have to justify your position to your management. It also makes writing a new resume and interviewing for new jobs a breeze! Give it a try!
