I realized while doing it that it was a powerful exercise. However, because I had committed to posting entries from my journal each day, I felt a strange urge to “censor” journal entries as I did them.

So, I didn’t get quite the effect I’d hoped. I subsequently did NOT keep up the journaling practice. So, in my experience, I wouldn’t recommend posting the journal entries, unless you also intend to journal stuff each and every day that you won’t be posting.

I just recently started journaling again.

My suggestion, based on my experience so far, would be to not commit to post your journal entries, if you plan to post ANYTHING, maybe post the results you’re seeing as a RESULT of journaling. Instead of journal entries, more how the act of journaling itself is helping you.

I just started my 30-day journaling trial last week (http://thelifeexperimenter.com/2008/12/08/life-experiment-2-journal-daily-for-30-days/). Just wanted to know how your trial turned out. What did you learn from it? Any suggestions for me as I complete my trial? Thanks...Allen Hi Bill,

Just wanted to know how your trial turned out.

Any suggestions for me as I complete my trial?
