Journaling has so many proven benefits, it would take me hours to complete this story. But let’s start with these five simple reasons to finally open that beautiful notebook and start a journal.
🖤 Your anxiety is getting weaker. I know that firsthand and you can trust me on this one (ravens with anxiety disorder, unite!🐦⬛). But remember that journaling is not a therapy itself, but a therapeutic tool. So, please, consider find a therapist if you feel the need.
🖤 Your gratitude is growing. Simply because you can see vividly how much you have to be grateful for. It’s all there on the paper.
🖤 Your immune system is getting stronger. I know it sounds crazy and weird, but I looked up this article about connection between journaling and a need for a doctor visit. The explanation is simple, of course. Journaling reduces stress, regulates emotions, and helps with mental clarity. We all know how stress affects our health, right?
🖤 Your memory is getting better as well as your attention span. Recording everything in a structured manner helps keeping those memories in line, and reducing mental clutter helps to make the attention span better.
🖤 You know yourself better and this reason doesn’t need to be explained. Right?
