Journaling may not be something you have done in the past, but it helps me organize the fragmented pieces of my health picture. It also gives me hope as I see “windows of improvement” with my health.
Some tips:
- Use whatever form of writing that works best for you! (I use the Notes app on my phone and type the date, location, and what is happening to me.)
- When it is really difficult for me to type or think clearly, I use the audio key to record my voice.
- You might not write each day! Do your best to share what triggers your symptoms, including your location, foods/smells, the weather, and the date! (You will then have a timeline where you might find a pattern of behavior with your symptoms.)
- Keep it simple and don’t worry about typos!
