Re-Journaling

By Dave Fox

If you have tried travel journaling before, and you still have those journals, re-journaling can give you some fascinating insights into your past. Re-journaling consists of taking an old journal entry — it can be weeks, months, or even decades old — and writing about that old journal entry in the present time.

Find an old travel journal entry. If you don't have a travel journal entry, any past writing you have done will work. It can be a regular at-home journal, a letter or an e-mail you have sent, for example. Write about that journal entry or letter in the present context.

Here are some questions to help you get started:

How does it feel now to read what you wrote then?

How were you feeling when you wrote it?

Have you changed since then? If so, how?

In what ways are you the same now as you were then?
