Besides your daily feelings, thoughts, and experiences journal, there are many ideas for journals or diaries that you can keep, some are suggested below. Buy a blank book or a notebook with a particular journal topic in mind and keep this book for only that topic. You may decide to keep several kinds of journals at the same time, so remember that you do not have to journal every day.
1. Family Journal - Journal about yourself and your family, the children, your parents, or relatives. You can have a weekly 'family journal night,' where the whole family can get together and either journal or discuss their journals. For any age, drawing is a way to journal thoughts.
2. Letter Journal - After you've written a letter, make a copy and keep it in its own file or binder.
3. Memory Journal - Think back, and journal one memory a day.
4. Gratitude Journal - Journal one thing in your life that you are grateful for that day.
5. Prayer Journal - Journal a prayer a day. Your prayer, a friend's, the prayer from the paper, etc.
6. Good Thoughts Journal - Journal at least one good thought each day.
7. Books/Movies Journal - Journal the books you have read or the movies you have seen. What were your experiences? Who suggested the book or movie? Who did you see the movie with?
8. Couples Journal - Take time every day to write something to each other. Journal about each other, an experience of the day, a dream for the future, even an, "I'm sorry."
9. Dream Journal - Upon waking, journal your dreams.
