What is Journaling:
Journaling involves articulating your innermost thoughts and emotions by translating them into words on paper. It serves as a mental, emotional, and spiritual practice that enhances your emotional resilience to navigate life's challenges and ambiguities. By recognizing negative thoughts and fostering positive, therapeutic ones, journaling aids in uncovering your life's purpose, meaning, and connection to a higher power.
Journaling is a great tool to use when trying to learning who you are and practice self-care. It offers numerous benefits, such as the intricate process involved in handwriting and expressing emotions, thoughts, and experiences. This activity engages various areas of our brain, facilitating easier processing of information and emotions, easing difficult feelings, fostering connections, and sparking new insights. Writing by hand, being slower than our thinking capacity, encourages us to be present in the moment and engaged with our thoughts, curbing the 'monkey mind' and promoting mindfulness while stimulating our senses.
