The cycle of journaling starts with self-reflection to self-discovery to self-improvement and lastly, to self-acceptance. Notice they all started with “self,” it is because you, yourself is irreplaceable and is unique in your own way.
Self-Reflection: Reflect on your past and present, who are you? What are some habits you disliked or liked about yourself? Write them down in your journal. Explore yourself spiritually while you learning about yourself.
Self Discovery: Discover yourself based on the reflection you have made. Recognize and discover what it is in yourself. Explore yourself as a hyphenate.
