Keeping a journal about your dyslexia can be an excellent way to force yourself to pay close attention to your dyslexia on a daily basis. (This is also one of the techniques that Antonio uses with his work with dyslexic students).
There are no hard rules about keeping a journal on your dyslexia; it’s up to you how you do it. You might find that it suits you to write a journal, or you might find that you prefer to record a journal on to audio tape, or even make a video diary. These are all suitable formats; experiment and find the format that suits you best. Also, what you write about, or record if the case may be, is up to you too as long as you focus on the theme of your dyslexia. For instance you might want to talk about your feelings towards you being dyslexic or express how being dyslexic is impacting on your life.
(If you would like some specified areas to get you started then send Antonio an email and he will send you a blank journal sheet that suggest five areas to focus your journal on. He will also send you an example of a completed journal sheet to help you get started).
The purpose of this exercise is that they will help increase your levels of awareness towards your own dyslexia. The more awareness you have the better you will eventually become at controlling the negative impact that you feel dyslexia is having in your life.
If you feel that you would like coaching through the process of becoming more aware of you dyslexia and want help also to find ways to overcome your dyslexia, contact us for information about our online tuition service.
