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.
