"Journaling Practice"

On this site, a journaling practice is the intentional use of journals as tools for introspection, self-discovery, processing, emotional engagement, self-awareness, and any form of "going within" through language.

The term "journaling" alone is too broad and cannot capture the intent and continuity connotated by "practice". Adding "practice" solidifies journaling as a thoughtful and ongoing practice distinct from logging, tracking, collecting, or aesthetic expressions.

Although logging, tracking, collecting, and aesthetic expression may be a part of a "journaling practice", this site emphasizes expression through language.
