Journal writing is a well-known and effective technique I use myself and frequently recommend to others including family, friends and clients.
Several books have been written about the ins-and-outs of journal writing and the really good thing is that you don't need any formal training, any special equipment, or any skill to do it... it's something everyone can do and benefit from.
Because journal writing is so useful... I'm going to discuss different aspects of it in 2 posts. Today we will look at
benefits of journal writing :
- it's a great way to get your thoughts and feelings out of your system. We all know how good it can feel to talk things over with someone but sometimes it can be difficult or inconvenient to access someone e.g. it could be 2 a.m. when you need to talk and inappropriate to contact someone at that hour. Your journal is always handy
- can help keep you on track, clarify your goals and stimulate ideas for change in your life
- you may not have someone with whom you can talk over your problems or feelings
- you may have something on your mind you don't feel comfortable talking with someone about... you can say what you want in your journal without feeling embarrassed; your journal will never judge or criticise you
- your journal is easily accessible at any time on any day
- if you have trouble sleeping, keep paper and pen by your bedside. When you have thoughts racing through your head preventing you from sleeping -- write them down. Once again, it gets it out of your system and stops the continual thinking
- can help you clarify what you're thinking and feeling. It can help you let go of things that kept going around in your heart and head
- your journal can become your very good friend!
