Forgot how to write. Hand used to tapping. Paper looks like a relic? The hand is saying &#8220;no, we don&#8217;t do this anymore.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are all sorts of journalling methods:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hemingway-style is DIY narrative therapy.

Today: &#8220;10 ideas how can you show more kindness to yourself?&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Patted myself on the back. Did it again. Felt good. Patted the legs too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another one:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Gratitude journal.
