I think of it like weight loss. A lot of people fail at it because they don't see the results they want early enough. They think it's not working and they just give up.
I think the reason why many stop after a few days or weeks is because you do not see the reward right away. I started journaling 2 months ago and I sometimes think that is a waste of time, but once I am writing, I no longer feel that way. I enjoy writing, I feel more calm, I understand (?) myself better in a manner. Everyone should give it a try.
You're correct, and I can relate to that from my original struggles. I always heard everyone saying how great journaling was, but I never got it. Once I did get it, though, it became one of the most enjoyable things I do.

I started journaling because my therapist told me to. I thought it was dumb and a complete waste of time. 15 years later and I'm still doing it.
Wow! Congrats on 15 years of journaling.

That’s a great example! I’ve definitely been victim to that one a time or two. Thanks for sharing!

@ChadEveryday for me it is a form of meditation. It is so freeing and relaxing at the same time!
Thanks :)
