I’ve realized that I rarely look back at past entries. Journaling, for me, is a way of processing what I’m thinking about and feeling in the present, so I try to let it flow out of me with zero planning or rereading. I’m wondering if anyone here refers back to old entries when writing new ones, or even uses old entries to analyze trends over time. What do you do with the longer view?
Part of why I want to keep up in my journaling at a pace of about 1 entry a week is to have the memories for the future - I don’t have the best memory and I want to look back through the journal lens.
