Writing is not just some task that one just down random thoughts and feelings, but a strong influencing tool in your life. Putting pen to paper and writing out your feelings, memories, and experiences can provide you with insights about yourself and the universe you live in. In this blog, we will be looking into the power of journaling, and how it can aid you to move past the challenges of life.

Why does Journaling matter?

Here’s why journaling can be a life-changer.

1)By writing down your thoughts and feelings, journaling allows you to see what matters to you and where your priorities lie. It also forces you to better understand your motivations, desires, and fears. This is why journaling can help you navigate the process of informed decision-making and goal-setting.

2)You will be more creative if you write down your ideas and dreams. The practice opens you up to new hobbies and interests. It gives you a safe place to speak without people around you judging you, says Orlum.

3) Journaling serves as a venting tool — it releases stuck emotion/output into the papers.

4) Keeping a daily gratitude journal can help foster a positive outlook and enhance your well-being.

5)Journaling helps you to Document your progress over time, helping you know your strengths, weaknesses and where you can improve in order to be better.

It is very easy and simple to start journaling. To get you started, here are a few tips:

1)Take a journal which you are at ease with. Use a notebook, an app, or a voice recorder. What matters is to find a path that resonates with you.

2) Establish a routine: Write every day at the same time, whether in the morning or the evening. Consistency is what helps to make journaling a habit.

3) If you just started, keep the paragraphs short. First, Journal (describe your day, your intentions/resolutions, or what you appreciate).

4)Honesty with self is the key. Just write down whatever comes to mind, no need to worry about the actual grammar or spelling. Your journal is for you only. We should not care about what others think

5)Experiment with creative forms of journaling, such as bullet journaling, free writing, or doodling. Experiment until you find what is best.

Start journaling our thoughts or dreams or just how our day went from now on in our notebooks today.
