Benefits Of Journaling Analysis

When I was a small child, I didn't like writing unless I was writing something I wanted to. As a result, most of my school work was done half-heartedly, because they were all research projects that we had to do. I didn't have any issues with my writing, and my handwriting was pretty good at my age. My favorite books were the Harry Potter series. I thought I was pretty cool to be able to read such a long book, so I bragged some to my friends. The only topic I liked to write about was fantasy. In second grade, my mom made me start writing every day in a wide ruled journal, so I wrote a story about the Legend of Zelda, a video game I liked. I wrote about it every day for a long time, maybe a year, until I kinda gave up, and wrote the last page

Not only as a kid did I like reading but I also liked writing! And well I still do. As a kid, I kept a journal of everything I did. I stopped when I was around nine but I still find it hilarious to go back and read what I was thinking. This just makes good memories to look back at and now I wish I would’ve kept writing so I could enjoy reliving these moments of my

A self-reflective journal is a good way to keep records and reflect upon what happened during a lesson. I plan to, at the end of each day, jot down a few comments about what worked in my lessons, what didn’t work, and how I would modify the lesson to better support my students’ development. As this information will be recorded, I can always come back to it for reference when preparing future lessons. I also plan to often read the information on this journal so I can constantly remind myself of what strategies worked and what strategies didn’t work.

I couldn’t breath and with each heartbeat getting faster my stomach was becoming  more upset. Then my thoughts ran wild; what if I got another concussion? If I got another concussion, would I get brain damage and never be the same?  One after another, so many negative thoughts appeared in my mind. So I paused for a second, concentrated on my breathing, and reminded myself that I am safe. I worked over what I was concerned about; thought of the worst situation that could happen. I considered if the worse happened, how long would it last? I began to reflect on the positive elements I would still have in my life and how the experience of the worst situation possible could advance who I am as a person.

Over the past four years I have seen more doctors than an average person would see in their lifetime. From endocrinologists to neurosurgeons, I have tirelessly sought medical help to overcome multiple traumatic brain injuries I incurred as an early teen. Prior to these head injuries I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do with my life or what my future would encompass. The outlook I had on life prior to my head injuries has drastically changed through the course of my recovery. Although my road to recovery has been filled with hardships, disappointments, and pain, I have found a new direction filled with opportunity to advocate on behalf of others.

One day my mom brought me a journal I knew a lot girls that were journaling, I never knew what they were writing, I figured it out, my journal became my best friend whenever something would happen I would write about it, I guess you can say that’s when I really got into writing, I would journal about my life what I wanted to be when I got grown, the family I would someday have; my future husband what he looked like, to the car he drove; my journal truth and fairytale stories.

However, journaling doesn’t always have to be all self-indulgent. Even though I’ve written about how living with Lyme disease has affected my life, my memoir story about my days as a competitive gymnast and even writing my very own resume; I still had to conform to the writing rules of the class and keep from being self-indulgent while self-examining. It was still always important and required to exercise critical thought, enhanced expression and conscious

The type journaling I used was the A-B-C structured diary to recognize my antecedents. I believe the A-B-C is a great way to keep record of the antecedents and find what behaviors and consequences occur. Journaling the different contingencies that effect my target behavior will help me learn and be aware of the five W’s (who, what, where, and why) that resulted in my self-discouragement (L.Watson & Tharp, 2014, p. 79). The journaling of how I structured it was put into an excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contained three columns that were titled Antecedents; Behaviors; and Consequences respectively. Under Antecedents, I would explain the preceding events that would follow my reactions or behavior and its consequences. Examples included: walking

I’m still an an ardent reader, storyteller, even adventurer, but four years of relapse and respite have given me my own perspective: now, I am the strong one, the brave one, more determined than ever.

Definetly journaling is a great idea for students to do. Everyone has the ability through learn through observation and experience. It is up to the teacher to encourage journaling among its students to promote their critical thinking skills. Now I remember that I had teachers in High School and Cochise College that used this method for me is was useful because it allow me to improve my writing skills.

I have depression, diabetes, and liver problems from drinking. I still have a lot of physical damage from all my injuries. I was in two plane crashes while in traveling in Africa, my infant son stuck his finger in my eye and tore my cornea, and more. It was hard, but I was able to recover while my literary career reached it’s peak.

The reason the subject of my 100th post is about journals is because they have been a part of me since the age of three. As a toddler Spanish was my primary language and I was just beginning to speak English. Yet this new language birthed a new person entirely and my entire world changed. Reading and Writing had opened an entire new universe of imagination and creating. From that day forward a notebook would be within my hands and I would be writing.

Writing has always played a huge role in my life. I’ve been reading writing for as long as I can remember as I have an immense love of reading. This love would grow into a love for writing as well; I still stumble upon journals and writings from my five-year-old self about the happenings in my kindergarten class. As time would go on I would discover academic writing, and how to convey my thoughts on what was the topic of student that particular year or semester in my schooling. Later, writing would become a constant for me, and a comfort; I was known to my friends as always having a journal, and a pen on my person. I learned to write down my feelings and my thoughts, song lyrics that were in my head, reflections for the day. I learned how

I'm amazed by the clear majority of “successful” people who overcame adversity and hardship. How do we react to ours? Do we crumble like cookies under the thought of a challenge and avoid them.. or do we conquer challenges and own them? Well, I say, it's up to us. All this [stress] plays into a huge feedback loop that can determine health, happiness, and ultimately our "success". For better or for worse. Why did patients in our readings have such different personal narratives of illness from what seemed to be very similar and even in the same biomedical causes of illnesses? These questions highlight the view that there is a deeper transcending non-biomedical cause of illness, which then, effects outcomes of treatment and healing. I believe an attitude of resilience fostered through experience, plays a huge role in how people react to their illness which then affects how one responds to treatment/therapy. How is it that some people in life have suffered so much and at the end of the day, sometimes after years. not only remain intact mentally, but thrive in the world and carry on with their lives, despite their condition(s) and exposure to trauma. Against all the odds. Through personal experience and evidence presented in the readings. I will persuade you to understand why I feel humans may respond so differently; to treatment and the processes of healing. I don’t expect you to agree with everything I say, you are entitled to that. I only expect that you acknowledge that the
