What is a journal? Perhaps you've heard a
family member or person you admire say they keep journals. A journal is a daily
record a person keeps about a personal interest.
Many famous people keep journals because it is
an excellent place to express and essay new ideas or feelings related to a
determined event, a journal is a picture of the soul of the person who writes
it.
A painter may use a journal to sketch
masterpieces and possibly there are hundreds of sketches before the final
painting. A songwriter can try lyrics, notes or their feelings. A screenwriter
saves events, character, atmospheres and other things they can use in future
stories.
Any person can keep a journal. A scent journal
can help you identify the smells that make you feel good about your environment
and mood. Journaling will help you to appreciate the smells that surround you
and how they make you feel. To start a scent journal:
