Don’t Miss Out on These 5 Benefits of Journaling

September 2, 2024 · In: Happy Habits

I might only know two Taylor Swift songs BUT I do know that this extremely successful lady journals and I don’t want you to miss out on these 5 powerful benefits of journaling.

I mean, who doesn’t want to do something that makes you happier, lighter and gets solutions to your challenges?

It wasn’t until recently that I realized how absolutely transformational the act of journaling can be when I sat down to ask myself some hard questions like, “Who do I need to forgive in order to move past blocks in my success?”

It’s totally different than typing and it has opened up so much creativity and problem solving and even healing for me. You don’t want to miss out on these 5 benefits and I’ll tell you why.

Stay tuned until the end where I have a little something for your journey.

1. Boost Your Emotional Well-Being:

Take a moment and just imagine yourself sitting in your comfortable chair with your pen and journal in hand. You have a little something delicious to sip on and are ready to embark on some me-time. You know I’m listening to Diana Krall, diffusing and near a plant too.

Doesn’t that FEEL amazing even just thinking about journaling?

Well, journaling is a powerful way to reduce stress, process emotions, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and happiness.

2. Enhance Creativity and Problem-Solving

Alright my stationary queens! Get out the gel pens and Lisa Frank binder!

Compare the act of typing and the act of physical handwriting.

Handwriting connects the mind and body in a unique way, helping to align your thoughts with physical actions.

A different part of your brain lights up and you become more deeply engaged and vested in what you are thinking/writing about.

Journaling encourages creative thinking and can lead to a stronger sense of intention and purpose in what you write. It can also help you brainstorm solutions to challenges.

3. Strengthen Self-Discipline

We are the sum of our habits! Journaling is a healthy self discipline and daily practice that is grounding and recharging.

This can positively influence other areas of your life, from productivity to self care.

4. Track Personal Growth:

It kind of freaks me out how I can stumble upon old notes in my phone, an old journal entry or blog post and get reminded of a past event that I would have otherwise forgotten about.

By documenting your experiences and reflections, you can easily track your progress, celebrate wins, and identify areas for improvement.

5. Unlock Clarity and Focus

I need alone time to organize my thoughts like a plant needs sunshine, my friend.

Journaling helps you organize your thoughts, giving you a clearer perspective on your goals and the steps needed to achieve them.

In Summary

Now that you see the benefits to journaling, don’t miss out on them! I’ve made it super simple for you to get started with my free printable 7 day Aesthetic to Abundant Journal Prompts.

Stop your scroll! This can save you. One day, I d Stop your scroll! This can save you.

One day, I decided to stop letting my circumstances determine the outcomes that I wanted.

Here he was mother to four, barely sleeping at night, feeling Uncomfortable in my body and sluggish. 

Dare I say it but I felt old too.

Then I just decided that, even though I was in this stage of life, I was still going to achieve my goals and have a body that I wanted.

I changed who I was on the inside.

I started telling myself that I was vibrant and beautiful and full of energy and life.

All the sudden I started to believe it.

I ate healthier automatically.

I lost over 20 pounds.

Then I woke up one day (after weaning and a full night’s sleep-this is key too) and I decided that I am a vibrant, youthful, energetic, healthy, fit and beautiful person.

I reprogrammed the driver (your subconscious mind).

Then the car (aka my body) started moving.
Steps, supplements and clean eating are just the branches.
The root is identity.

Your body doesn’t do what you say you want.
It follows who you believe you are.

The subconscious runs the show. Habits stick. Results compound.
Manifestation speeds up.

Drop “identity” in the comments or DM me IDENTITY to get the script that’s helping me reprogram mine.

Now a mother of four creating a home, a business and a life I once couldn’t picture.

Identity is always evolving.

Most people try to change their life while holding onto an old identity.

The real shift happens when you allow yourself to become someone new first.

Someone is always going to be upset with you changing.

That’s just how it is.

But you’ve got to be brave and listen to your inner guide.

There is still so much becoming in you.

If this resonated, join me @christinajwarren for more becoming.

I had baby on me at the bakery section, calling my husband asking about the kind of ice cream and then I saw the number candles. 

UM…he can’t be 10! He must be 9!

He didn’t even notice or say anything until we mentioned it after the party! Didn’t even phase him!

I’m always trying to get it so perfect for them but they don’t even care about a lot of the things I stress over.

I make a lot of mistakes these days. These are also the best years of my life, ya know?

I’ve always been so hard on myself, always chasing perfection and now I’ve let myself relax a little. 

They’ve taught me that.
They just want us there. 

If this is you, join me over @christinajwarren and see you there.
