Where?
Somewhere quiet, warm, safe and comfortable
where you can think without interruption
When? • Straight after an event before you forget
Or
• A little while after the event so you have had time to think about what happened
• At a time when you can quietly write with no interruptions
• Journaling can be time-consuming so don’t pick a time when you are rushed

What to write?
• No rules – this is YOUR journal• Start with every day ‘stuff’• Doesn’t have to be a drama
• It could be an event of the day, how you are feeling, or what you are reading
Journaling…
• will help you think about what you already know
• give you time to think further and gain deeper understanding
• can stimulate critical thinking

Journaling as a tool for reflective practice
• Enables us to become better writers, express our hopes and dreams
• Watch our personal and professional growth and development.
• Gives us opportunities for learning, and enables us to explore our inner selves and the outer context we live and practice in.
• Supports our actions which are based on new insights and learning that result from critical reflection.
