The best part about journaling is it can be done anywhere and anyhow. There are no rules to journaling. You can do it every day or once a month or even when you deem necessary. With journaling there are no constraints, you can write about anything, it could be how your day was, what you did, how you feel, your accomplishments, and even your worries and problems. Additionally, you can do it on your Notes app and lock it or write on a paper then tear it or burn it, or even get a specific book and hide it.
