Why Should You Journal?

There are couple of reasons you need to start reflecting back-

1) Journaling can help you discover hidden thoughts, feelings, and desires you didn’t even know you had and when you write them down, it feels light and less overwhelming.

2) By reflecting, you can figure out what you truly want and set achievable goals to get there.

3) Journaling can sometimes help you find solutions to challenges you are facing. It happens to me quite a lot. When I journal, I tend to solve my problems more easily than when I keep my thoughts in my mind.

4) It helps you live in the present moment.

5) It lets you track your progress over time so you can see how far you’ve come.

6) Gratitude journaling reminds you of good things that you have in life.
