Quick Tips: I Swear by Writing in My Journal. Here’s Why

 
  1. Writing in my journal gives me the opportunity to sort through my thoughts and make them real life feelings.

  2. Writing down what’s on my mind is similar to venting to a confidant and sometimes can be safer—it allows me to take the stress or emotions off of my chest without worrying whether my feelings, insecurities or fears are safe or will be looked down upon.

  3. Writing in my journal is the first step to creating a plan to complete some big goals or first step of healing pain in my life.
