I’ve been journaling for 2 years ago after I got introduced to it, by my good friend Grace, and my friends! I can tell you this has being a wonderful decision I ever made, and one of the most wonderful things I have managed to be a successful human being. This has been a testament to my personal growth that I’ve come across this far.

Before meeting Grace, I really did not understand the concept of why people journalize Honestly it didn’t make sense to me. I thought it was kind of silly of people to write down their everyday lifestyle in a paper.

Here are a few benefits I think you should keep a daily journal;

BENEFITS OF JOURNALING

1) Memories:

To write in a journal It is a memory keeper, like taking your life story into a book form, in physical chapters that you can hold and read again it is actually an incredible thing. I used to put pictures in my journal because it kind of makes me remember some of the details I might forget.
I find that memories in a journal not only makes the writer remember certain events but also how he/she felt emotionally during such events. It feels like you’re listening to an old person like a version of yourself talking and that’s where the emotional part really sets in.

2) Journaling makes you organized

For some reason, some people don’t find this process helpful. Either they’ve given it a try or just feel like there’s no need to give a shot. Well in my own opinion, the journaling process is very important, it doesn’t just teach me as a writer but prepare my journey in life as a human.

3) Makes you a life Observer and Goal Achiever

This is literally me! Every time I wake up in the morning, the first thing for me to do is pray to God and meditate, then I brush my teeth, drink a lot of water as much I can then bring out my journal and start writing. Usually, my writing skills are not fast at all. My brain thinks way faster than I write. So, I give myself time to be able to pen and pad.
Then the next thing I do, and think you should also do, is to write down your challenges, like the battle or struggles you are facing then your goals, your achievements, and Vision, I also normally journal down how I want to work in this particular aspect, like improving in this area of life, who I need to reach out before the year ends, or whatever I think has to change like finding a better solution.

4) Reduce stress

Writing down your feelings can help you to reduce stress.
The more you express yourself in a diary the better you feel good
(I have tried it several times and it works perfectly well). Have you ever thought of writing down all your frustrations, disappointments in a paper? If not you should give that a consideration.
Expressing yourself in a diary is a positive way of reducing stress.

5) get to know a lot about yourself

 According to Pierce, Ultimate Lifestyle Enterprises ‘’A journal is a safe place where you can truly be honest with yourself’.  You get to know a lot about yourself, you know about your intention, your plan, your plans! You even start talking to yourself, communicating with that inner version of whom you truly are, it allows you to get really deep. I realize when you write you learn when you start understanding yourself and what you want to accomplish you start to understand yourself on a deeper level

6) Reflect in your past 

It makes you go back in your failure and your success and see what changes you have made in your life, it makes you realize who you have become over time and give you the joy and satisfaction to make you realize the growth you have in your life.
