Journaling can bring so many wonderful benefits to your everyday life. Find a great journal and make the choice to use it. Even once a week is beneficial. I recommend My Firefly Journal: 52 weeks of gratitude, reflection, and LIGHT! I’m biased, of course, wink wink, but seriously choose a journal that is right for you and DO IT!

1. Journaling can help to reduce stress. Intentionally focusing on people, moments, and things you are grateful for can leave you more fulfilled and create a more positive outlook on your day to day.

2. Journaling can help you process your emotions. We all have bad days. We all have feelings that spill out of our cups. It is so easy to allow your emotions to control you. Writing them down can help to get them out and provide perspective on what is most important.

3. You can gain a better understanding of yourself through journaling. Humans are complex and sometimes, we need to write down our thoughts and feelings so we can reflect upon them and gain a deeper understanding of our needs.

4. Journaling can help you find inspiration. Everyone needs a little inspiration every now and again. Journaling can help get the creative juices flowing. At the very least, journaling clears some space in your brain so that you have more room to fill your mind with more creative thoughts.

5. Journaling can help you gain confidence. No one is perfect, everyone is flawed. Embrace your flaws, learn from them, and move on!
