OK, this is
but your name (Chandra) is the name I gave our daughter almost 38 years ago. I have always loved that name.
Now about journaling.......I don't do a very good job of it because I remember too many details or not enough & I find it boring to write down all the things I've done during a day & I can never think back & remember thoughts I have unless I write them at the moment I have them.
HOWEVER.....the DBT group I was in for 2 years required the DBT thing similar to journals called Diary Cards.....LOL....the day before group, I would look back at my calendar from the week & try to remember everything I had done & try to remember the feelings & thoughts....that defeated the purpose of the exercise.
Honestly I wish I had kept a journal from 1994-2007 because it's a totally black hold time of my life & remember just a few little bits & pieces. It would have been nice to have kept at least notes....but then again, glad I didn't because I wouldn't want to relive those years even reading about them.
