I think something that has helped me to get to know myself better over the years has been journaling. They are a great way to explore and record life. After all whats a life if it is not recorded or remembered. Some of the simplest moments in daily life can be refreshing to look back on later on and it’s to know what we were thinking or feeling at a given time in our lives. I enjoy traditional journals as well as dream journaling. I keep a book nearby when I am asleep so I can write them when I wake up. That way they are easier to remember. This web page has a few different types of journals you can try.
