JOURNALLING AND WHY IT IS GOOD FOR YOU


You may have heard about this latest craze but have you ever really explored what journaling is and how it can have huge benefits for your mental health? 
Journaling basically means keeping a record of your feelings, thoughts and goals surrounding your day to day life.  
TEN TOP TIPS ON WHY JOURNALING IS GOOD FOR YOU:

  1. It helps you plan and achieve goals.
  2. It boosts your memory.
  3. It helps you recall triggers or problems and how to cope with and conquer them.
  4. It reduces stress and helps you unwind as putting things down in black and white stops you ruminating over them.
  5. Expressive writing has been shown to improve liver and lung function and combat certain diseases.
  6. It improves your mood and gives you an overall feeling of well-being.
  7. It helps you to be more mindful and live in the present time.
  8. It aids positive thinking and positive self-talk.
  9. It is a great place to store life-changing tools that can help you out whenever you need them.
  10. It is a great reference to look back on in tough times.

TEN TOP TIPS ON THE MUSTS OF JOURNALING:

  1. Make it a habit. A small entry each day is best.
  2. Date every entry.
  3. Be positive.
  4. Always note down things you are grateful for or things that make you happy.
  5. Jot down anything, anywhere or anyone that makes you feel good.
  6. Always write down any progress you make, however small it seems to be.
  7. Keep every journal you write, highlight and read over any important helping hints.
  8. List goals and then tick them off as you do them. Make these small and achievable to begin with. Remember that small steps lead to great journeys.
  9. Use colours/pictures anything that is appealing to the eye.
  10. Don’t forget to compliment yourself. Add your qualities and strengths as well as notes on any improvements you would like to make to your life.

So there you have it. All you need to do now is invest in a Journal, this can be as simple or fancy as you like. A basic notebook can be just as good as a leather-bound hardback.  Pull out some materials; pens, crayons, glue, cutouts etc and make a start. Why put off until tomorrow something that you are going to benefit from today?

HAPPY JOURNALING!

    I comment each time I appreciate a post on a website or if I have something to valuable to contribute to the discussion.
    It’s triggered by the passion displayed in the article I read.
    And on this post JOURNALLING AND WHY IT IS GOOD FOR YOU – NoPanic.
    I was moved enough to drop a comment 😉 I do have a couple of questions for
    you if you usually do not mind. Could it be simply me or does it
    look like like a few of the responses come across like they are left by brain dead folks?
    😛 And, if you are writing on other sites, I would like to follow you.
    Would you make a list the complete urls of your social sites
    like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

    I want to express some thanks to you just for rescuing me from this crisis.
    Right after searching throughout the the web and
    coming across things that were not productive, I thought my life was
    gone. Being alive without the solutions to the issues you’ve sorted out by means of your posting is a serious case, as well as the kind
    that would have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I hadn’t discovered your web page.
    Your personal understanding and kindness in touching the whole
    thing was very useful. I don’t know what I would
    have done if I hadn’t encountered such a step like this.
    I can also at this moment relish my future.
    Thanks a lot so much for this skilled and amazing guide.
    I won’t be reluctant to refer your site to anyone
    who ought to have guidelines on this subject.

    Feel free to visit my web page – Kassandra

    Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
    Is it very hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure
    things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about making my
    own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions?

    With thanks

    Review my web blog … Carolyn

    Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
    I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a
    tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.

    The reason I ask is because your design seems different
    then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
    P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
