Journalling has been a popular trend for many years now, but how can you turn this art into a practice that will benefit you more deeply?
- Commit to writing but don’t put pressure on yourself: journaling can lead to reducing stress and achieving your goals, however don’t make the practice of journaling a negative one.
- Be open to different formats: if one day you write a poem and another day you write a letter to someone, be open to this. A flexible format will help you get the most out of your practice.
- Be honest in your writing: journaling can improve your self-confidence and even help you find inspiration for your daily life so be honest about what you are going through and try to reflect your most authentic self in your writing.
- Read your journals later on: this will help you gain perspective and maybe even show you that things can get better as time goes on!
