I have been watching your YouTube Vlog since you were light Coco and then have seen the transition to Refine. I just want to tell you that I appreciate everything that you do here. I can tell that you, like me, are an HSP. I have such a deep resonance with what you share.... always. Sometimes I can already tell what you are going to say in a post, but I HAVE to read it because your organization and deep thought and processing often (who am I kidding ALWAYS) helps me to organize my own thoughts and put concepts that are swirling in my head into digestible pieces. What an absolute treasure I have found in you!!! I know as an HSP we are often self critical and have plenty of doubts. You need not feel this way. I have been here all along. I see you and I value what you're doing. You are a bright and intuitive person. I am so very grateful to have found you. Kind Regards, Kara
I like the idea of the summary journal. That's really using the journal to learn from while also, like you say, recognising that its value is as a processing tool rather than an artifact.
I refer to old journals a lot when writing books, but once this next book is done I might start this process because my stack of 20+ old notebooks is definitely taking up significant real estate.
"recognising that its value is as a processing tool rather than an artifact." I love this sentence. Also, 20+ old notebooks sounds like a lot of work, take it easy when starting that!
I think getting rid of journals only four years might be a little too soon. I think this is the one area that we can be more lenient. Looking through old journals are so important to help you remember what and how you have overcome. If I feel anxious about something I go back to my old anxiety journals and it always puts things into perspective.

Thank you for sharing, I still have a year to go before I check out my old journal, I'll keep this in mind when the time comes!
