Journaling

 


I've had the flare for writing for as long as I can remember.
I started out writing short stories about princesses. I moved on to writing songs and encrypted dairies using unpopular codes and letters. I wrote poems too.
During those times I had not come to understand how deep writing could be. I just wrote.

When I started pursuing writing more professionally, everything changed. I got perspective and it affected my life better.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now I know better, I do better. Maya Angelou

Moving forward, I also got to understand journaling more intently.
Before I outline the therapeutic benefits of journaling, journaling is one of the best practices of a writer.

A writer should write every day and journaling gives you that opportunity.

Ok, I think I'm overly streamlining...

Everybody should write every day and journaling gives us the opportunity.

When I started, I was so inconsistent (when I hardly understood). I had to polish my intent per time (directly and indirectly).

So, it wouldn't be easy at first, and don't stop after you miss a few days.
All of this news is to call you back to journaling.

Journaling has been found to;
  • Enhance your sense of well being
  • Boost your mood
  • Reduce anxiety before making a decision or before an important event
  • Improve your working memory
  • Encourage mindfulness
  • Reduce stress
  • Help you learn from your experiences
  • Improve communication
  • Help you sleep better 
  • Help you manage post-traumatic stress
  • Boost your creativity
  • Improve your sense of gratitude
  • Help you discover your voice

It could be pen to paper or fingers to keypad "what's important is you're having a relationship with your mind". However you can, make sure to start this helpful habit.

This disruption motivated a creative Sumerian to create a solution to the problem which brought about the art of writing. Writing was introduced to the system primarily for record-keeping. Although writing started with symbols (pictograph) and inscriptions on local materials such as clay and reeds. Writing evolved into a sophisticated script called the cuneiform which was used to record information about bureaucracy and authority, and other aspects of life. These were mostly written on scrolls. Imagine what the world would have been without the collection of events or experiences... Just imagine They would be no history, memories, shreds of evidence of the past, and of cours...
