Reflection journal
A reflection journal is a regular writing down of experiences, emotions and conclusions to better understand yourself and your own patterns.
Definition
A reflection journal helps to transfer experiences from internal chaos into a form that can be seen, named and analyzed. It can support self-awareness, emotion regulation and learning from experiences. It doesn't have to be literary or everyday; what is more important is sincerity, regularity and translating conclusions into small actions.

Practice and life
In the evening, answer four questions: what happened, what I felt, what I learned and what I will do differently tomorrow.
Common misunderstanding
It is a mistake to turn your diary into a catalog of accusations against yourself. A common mistake is writing without any conclusion or action, which turns reflection into rumination.
