5 Reasons Why You Should Maintain A Journal

by Kaveri Tikmani

Gone are the days when a journal, as a verb and noun, was exclusively reserved for folks in a professional or research environment. It’s now become a very integral part of pop culture that promotes positive habits for self-growth and development. In other words, your daily journal is your ideal companion if you want to exude main character energy!

As its importance has grown over the years with solidly cemented research, the emphasis on the journal as a verb has insurmountably overtaken the narrative on personal growth and well-being. For all the right reasons! Let us give you among them, the top 5:

  1. It reduces stress:

A lot of research in this field has shown that journaling for 15-20 minutes daily over a consistent period can reduce stress levels and help improve mental well-being. Just the mere process of writing down your stress triggers in the diary notebook and reflecting upon them can alleviate stress by leaps and bounds.

  1. It helps you become mindful:

It is a proven fact that journaling evokes mindfulness by helping you get in touch with your inner needs and desires. Of course, this is more noticeable once the habit of journaling becomes long-term and consistent. But once you get a hang of it, mindfulness will come naturally to you, trust us!

  1. Your memory sharpens:

Once again, many studies have verified that journaling most certainly boosts working memory capacity, which effectively means your brain will be in much better shape! All you have to do is pick up your pen and journal and write all your thoughts, experiences, and emotions down in your ruled notebook!

  1. You can process emotions better:

Emotional catharsis is a process best accompanied by an entree of journaling! That’s because journaling makes it easier to reflect, contemplate, and manage your emotions, helping you not only overcome personal adversities but also improve self-confidence. The result? A more secure self-perception and a much better sense of self-identity!

  1. It reduces patterns of self-depreciation:

Since you can deal with your insecurities a lot better through the process of emotional catharsis explained above, negative mental patterns that usually catch you in a rut of self-depreciation slowly diminish, leaving a much healthier and secure sense of self. Isn’t that the best gift you can give yourself?
