Keeping a Journal for Stoic Reflection
I started keeping a journal many years before I discovered Stoicism. Dream journals, idea journals, goals journals, etc.
It just seemed like a brilliant idea. And it was. After discovering Stoicism, journaling indeed looked a bit different. I try keep it short, to the point, and reflect on Stoic principles.
I find that journaling before sleep helps me fall asleep. It allows the mind to unravel before shutting down.
Anyone else keeping a journal? Noticed any benefits?

I have tried writing a journal before bed many many times, but it the urge to write always seems to die out after a few days. I can see it coming after a couple of days where I think what happened during the day and nothing of significance comes up. 99% of the time is the standard routine. How do you keep up the journal writing going?
Maybe I am living life on auto pilot and not taking a conscious effort into my actions.
So when you say > "I try keep it short, to the point, and reflect on Stoic principles."
Can you share a couple of examples? or even some pointers
