Saya tahu bahwa saya tidak dapat mengontrol apa yang dilakukan atau dikatakan orang lain, tetapi saya dapat mengontrol bagaimana saya bereaksi terhadapnya.

7. When is the best time to journal?
The best time to write in a journal will depend on each individual's personal preference and schedule. Here are some potential times that can work well for journaling:
1. Morning: Some people prefer to start their day by writing in their journals, as it can help them clear their heads and set intentions for the day ahead.
2. Evening: Others may find it helpful to write in their journal before bed, as it can help them process their thoughts and emotions from the day and unwind before bed.
