Do's and Don'ts of Journaling
 
Do's:
Write in present tense. ie: I am...I have...
Start with self-aware strengths. ie: I am modest, humble and forgiving
Be kind and forgiving to yourself. ie: I am doing better
 
Don'ts:
Don't try to overwrite deeprooted fears. ie: I might feel initial stage fear and that's okay vs.  I am a very confident public speaker
Avoid negative affirmations. ie: I will do well in the exam vs. I will not fail the exam.
 
Remember to take care of you first and always.
