I can still remember my school days where my friends likes to keep diaries. I kind of picked up the habit from them. But After I started working, the habit kind of died somewhere in the middle. Over the years, I did try to keep one again, on-line even, but yet I still could not keep it up.
Looking for a reason to keep a journal may sound very stupid. You just have to do it, right ? Sometimes we just don't know why we are keeping a diary, may be its just fun. No reason is required for you to start. But when you cannot find the reason to do it, the energy to keep it going will die sooner or later.
Reflective practice is very interesting, as it brings me back to my school days again. By keeping a journal, I can see how my thoughts grow over time. And with a systematic way to record, follow-thru and follow-up, we can see ourselves and direct our path of thought to learn and develop into a better learner, a better trainer, a better person.
