Benefits of Journaling

I have journaled for years.  To this day I journal. I journal my thoughts, frustrations, gratitudes, prayers for self, prayers for others, dreams, etc.  Journaling is a powerful tool.  Did you know it is scientifically proven that journaling has numerous benefits?  And in times like we are in, journaling can help in so many ways.  So, what are some benefits of journaling?

​Journal writing has numerous benefits.  Writing things down is transformative.  Writing is a powerful tool!  Here's just a few benefits of journaling:

Greater Clarity.  Journaling clears inner space.  Writing provides a solid method for self-reflection while crystalizing thoughts into written content.  Writing aids in your ability to reflect on topics that are important to you.  More so, writing is a way to place concerns, worries, anxieties, etc. out of your inner space by putting thoughts on paper  so you can find a logical solution.
​
A Place to Plan.  We understand things will change due to COVID-19.  Writing is a fantastic way to plan for the week.  Pick a place and time to think ahead on your goals and direction.  Writing consistently establishes a routine.  Writing is a great tool for collecting ideas and future direction in the midst of change.  Use it to help you focus on important tasks.

Connects with God.  Writing on a consistent daily basis stills the spirit and allows you to hear God's voice clearer.  Writing helps you hear what's on God's heart for your life.  Listen as you write and connect with God. 

Do you journal?  How has journaling helped you?  If you don't journal, what are you waiting for?
