Greetings!
Lately, I've been thinking about the benefits of journaling. Writing about your thoughts and feelings is a great way to process emotions and events in your life.
Other benefits of keeping a journal include:
1. A journal is always available, and doesn't depend on others to listen.
2. A journal never gets bored with your stories and never judges your thoughts or feelings.
3. A journal can help you organize your thoughts about difficult relationships or events.
4. A journal allows you to hear your own voice.
5. A journal validates your experience.
6. A journal provides a record of healing, growth and transformation.
Many of us already believe in the benefits of journal writing, but struggle to do it consistently in a way that enables us to enjoy the benefits. Some common difficulties include:
- Starting a page or two or three, but then neglecting to revisit your journal for weeks or months.
- Finding a consistent time to write in your journal.
- Worry about how to stop from getting flooded by emotion when you journal.
There are dozens of different ways to use a journal effectively so that you can eagerly look forward to your next writing session.
