When we write down our emotions, our fears, our issues, our triggers, we can gain a new perspective on ourselves holistically. For many individuals, journaling helps remove mental barriers and encourages self-discovery. This allows us to let go of the past and truly re-invent ourselves.

Journaling is a great way to easily boost our mood. It can also be a very helpful tool for breaking down the overwhelming emotions that are causing our distress in the first place.

Journaling helps our brain through cognitive processing. When we write down our thoughts, we are naturally encouraged to understand them and make sense of them.

Journaling is a safe place for managing and controlling our emotions. Whether we know we are doing it or not, if we are vulnerable and honest while writing in our journals there can be some serious self-work done. This allows us to analyze our emotions on a deeper level before we take any action that could affect our lives or others around us.
