Journaling

My therapists always tell me to journal. Journal, journal, journal. What is journalling anyway?! I've never been able to grasp the concept or even journal on a regular basis. I guess its because there is no topic, no right or wrong way, and I need structure, RULES!

If someone can just tell me what to do and how to do it and when to do it, that'll be great. I bet I'm going to get a lot of answers like... "You are journalling right now!" But I mean like real journalling like in a little book at random times during the day and during group therapy.... you know?

I'll attempt it but won't share it publicly, since I'm afraid of what I might talk about. It's like free association right? No censoring? Yeah, ok that's not going to be posted. Hehehe.
