For me Journaling is writing what happened that day, thats how I started which made it easier for me to write when I had feelings, so when I journal when I am emotional I say what happened, what it makes me feel and why i think that is, what i'm going to do about it . If I have any feelings that are free floating I put it down and think about it. Alot of times I will have feelings, like random sadness and will just write how sad I am and spend the entire entry making a descriptive entry telling how horribly sad I am in different ways. Even write poetry sometimes.
