A couple of months ago my therapist suggested I start journaling to keep track of my moods and my spending because I have a shopping addiction. For a while it was very therapeutic and I looked forward to getting all of my thoughts down on paper at the end of the night. But after a while it started to feel like a chore and wasn't something I enjoyed doing anymore. Or if something pissed me off or made me sad at some point during the day when I would think about it again to get it onto paper made me relive it all over again, which put me back in a crappy mood. I'm going to take a break from it, aside from keeping track of my spending, and see where it goes from there
