Why Keep A Journal?

With the prolonged shut downs and stay at home orders due to Covid-19 many have been forced into self reflection. Now self reflection can seem ominous but in actuality can be a really positive thing if we use it well.

Journaling allows for that positive self reflection.  I myself keep a lot of journals...🙈 The two most important ones for me have been my spiritual as well as my gratitude journals. For some people keeping just one journal and cataloging it is more manageable; think bullet Journaling, a topic for another blog post...

So what ARE the benefits of journaling? Needless to say this list can be expanded...

▪︎Keep Thoughts organized.

▪︎Improves writing. 

▪︎Helps you with setting, tracking and achieving goals.

▪︎Record ideas on the go.

▪︎Relieve stress.

▪︎Allow for self reflection.

▪︎Boost memory.

▪︎Inspire creativity. 

▪︎Helps improve your overall communication skills.

▪︎Track habits, think water drinking, exercise etc.

▪︎Gives ideas room for growth. For example,  the act of taking a business idea and putting it to paper makes it real and tangible and allow you to see how possible it is to bring that business idea to life; making it a reality.

So what's stopping you? Simply put, journaling is good for the internal you, helping you to maintain good mental health.
