The Productive Power of Journaling—and Why It's Never Too Late To Start
I’m going to keep this blog short and sweet today because I don’t want you to spend your time reading.
I want you to start writing.
You may have heard that journaling is a powerful weapon in the fight against negative self talk. One of the main reasons why is because it helps make you aware of patterns you might not otherwise notice. And once you see them—you have the power to change them (which is pretty badass if you ask me).
I make it a point to write down my thoughts every day. Every. Day. It’s so much a part of my rhythm that I actually miss it if I don’t. My journal is a safe place for me to share my darkest thoughts, my proudest moments, my hopes, worries, dreams, and fears.
I’ve found that even though it is sometimes scary to see these written down on paper, it’s a lot better than letting them roll around in my head. I sleep better because of it. I have a more positive outlook because of it. And I dream bigger because of it.
If you’re new to journaling or feel a little intimidated by the process, here are four great videos that will inspire you to use your words.
Remember you’re not writing the next great novel here. You’re simply carving out a few minutes each day to jot down your thoughts, express gratitude, rant over something frustrating, or simply just document time—where you are in your life and what you’re doing.
Whatever you write is enough—just so long as you do it. I guarantee you’ll be glad you did.
