It's only when I get into the habit of journaling daily that I write down the <a href="http://www.reschoolyourself.com/victories-gratitudes" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">victories and gratitudes</a rel="nofollow">. It's much more common that I talk to my journal when I'm feeling upset and need to process. I read a tip about journaling "100 Days of Happiness," where every day you write down one thing that made you happy. And at the end of the 100 Days, you look at your list and pledge to do more of those things. I kept this up for a while, and they're a good reminder of what's important in your life.

But I have to admit, I have a love/hate relationship with journals. I realized, after picking up an old journal, that I only turned to them during difficult times and I was too busy living life and enjoying myself to stop and write down the fun moments. It was horrible reading an old journal filled only with sad, depressing entries. This year I decided to try a Do-Over. Write a journal filled only with things that make me smile or for which I'm grateful. It's not a full-blown, "real" journal, but I love re-reading entries and remembering the simple things that made me smile one day or what I'm really grateful for during the tough times.
