Why journaling matters

Journaling is in my blood and I couldn’t recommend it more. Whether it’s to figure out how I think about certain things, or to record something funny, or to work out a new creative idea that I might be stewing on – my journal is the place I do it all.

Journals are a blank canvas and allow for any kind of written expression. Do you want to make lists? Or sketch? Or write down your craziest dreams in the most extreme detail possible? You can do that and more in the comfort of your own journal.

Other reasons that journaling matters...

Journals welcome uncertainty. Don’t even get me started on the feelings I work out on the page. I have journals from my first marriage that I’ve kept as a reminder of the shit that I went through. I read them now and have a lot of empathy and forgiveness for who I was then. It makes me happy that I’ve kept them because the journal is a snapshot and written proof of how far I’ve come.
