Journaling

Let's Write!

Journaling offers a whole host of benefits, from increased self-awareness and personal growth to better emotion regulation and more. Numerous studies over the years have shown that journaling activates the prefrontal cortex, increases neuroplasticity, decreases amygdala activation, and can lead to a 23% decrease in cortisol levels in people. This makes daily journaling, even if just for a few minutes, a wonderful, easy-to-do activity to include either in your morning or evening routine.

How to Get Started

Consistency over length. Spend just 5 minutes a day and focus on making it part of your daily routine.
Create or pick a space for journaling. Journaling in the same spot each day will help get you in the mind set for the activity.
Choose your tools. What will you write with and what will you write in.
It does not need to look the same everyday. Maybe one day in sentences and the next is a list or doodles. It all “counts”!
Listen to yourself without judgment and comparisons. Journaling is a tool to process thoughts. It is not a writing assignment.
Start small; begin now!
