Benefits of Journaling
Daily journaling, for just a few minutes every day, can play a role in many different health benefits in our lives. Some of these Benefits include...
Self Expression
Self awareness
Practice bringing attention to emotions
Practice mindfulness
Practice gratitude
Increase your mood
Improve your sense of well-being
But... how do I start?
We will only be able to see the benefits of journaling if we make it a consistent habit.
First, I recommend doing your journaling in a physical notebook versus an app or on your phone.
Second, this needs to happen consistently and become a habit. Make the idea and habit of journaling attractive to you. How do I do that?
Morning person? Try setting it on the counter right next to where you make breakfast so that its in plain sight and you see it every morning.
Night owl? Try setting your journal on your night stand so that every night before bed, its right next to you.
Don't journal longer than you enjoy. This is not a chore, you get to do this.. for YOU! If you lose interest after 3 minutes, then journal for just 3 minutes.
