The one thing that I journaled most consistently was "4 things that I am grateful for today". It really helped to think beyond myself (and my stress-inducing, awful job of the time), and realize I had many positive things in my life, as well as gave me some perspective that my tiny bubble is important but not "everything".
I have a question for you: do you think people journal when they are not "needing" something? I hear about women journaling because they are feeling sad, or negative, or lonely, etc. Are there people who journal because they simply enjoy it? (is that a strange question??) :)
