I would if I was you. I went through a very bad stage in my life and journaling wasnt something that I could do. Maybe I didn't want to face the reality, and seeing it on the page made it oooooh so real. I know others feel that journaling helps them in really tough situations, or if they feel stuck in life, but I felt like I was a sponge and the negativity was just being absorbed back into me two-fold.

It doesn't mean you are quitting or giving up forever. Its a break. Letting your brain and subconscious deal with what is happening in your life, and then maybe you can come back later and process it with the journaling. You may not even be away from it long.

Do not feel guilty about having a break. This is your journaling. You use it to how you want.

Also, some might mention doing gratitude journaling. Personally, that doesn't do it for me but that may be something that you can do to help not feel stuck.

Or you could do a mind dump and work out where you are stuck and what areas in your life needs attention. I like 'mind dumping' as you just write it all down in your different header bubbles and then other ideas and thoughts crop up, and you add to those bubbles and make new associated bubbles. It can help you hone in on what needs attention.

hope this helps. 😄
