I have noticed that when ever I try and force myself to journal, not only do I not actually benefit from it and end up writing nonsense, I also lose motivation for journaling and end up not doing it for a long time until I feel motivated again.

I have also undoubtedly tried to write whole pages at a time, which I now understand is a problem and should be avoided.

So for me, when ever I try and force it, it stops working.

Why is it that staying true to yourself is so hard?
If you know your ideals, you know who you are, or at least who you want to be, and you even know what you consider right, why is it so hard to act on it and actually do it and be true to yourself?
