I started journaling at the age of nine back in 1985. I still have most of my journals. That first one sadly perished in a house fire but I still remember feeling the excitement of writing in it and sharing all about my secret crush. It feels so special to be able to look back on your life in such detail because of the gift of journaling.
Here are 6 benefits from journaling:
1. Connect with yourself-create a dialogue with yourself and connect with who you are and who you want to be.
2. Discover the world around you-writing down the things you experience reconnects you to yourself and the world around you.
3. Boost your memory-it can help you remember your experiences long after you have written them down.
4. Boost emotional intelligence-you are able to work out your feelings about things and gain a deeper understanding to what you are feeling.
5. Reduces stress-writing things down can help you vent out everything you are feeling and going through.
6. Inspires creativity-you can list ideas or flush them out while you are writing.
