There are a number of well-documented benefits to keeping a daily journal. Prayer journaling offers deep insights into your life, especially your spiritual life. Writing in a journal brings to the forefront hidden aspects of your life. Writing helps you look back and can also help you notice certain habits or patterns in your life. Journaling serves as a tangible way of letting go of anger and stressful emotions. Thus, you can keep track of your thoughts to gain clarity and add structure to your life.
According to WebMD, journaling is “the act of keeping a record of your personal thoughts, feelings, insights, and more. It can be written, drawn, or typed. It can be on paper or on your computer. It’s a simple, low-cost way of improving your mental health.” You can write on a daily basis or even a weekly basis. Simply jot down the activities of the day, your thoughts, dreams or your emotions and feelings. You can write in a fancy journal or you can keep a journal in a simple notebook-the end result is the same. Design your own system and don’t get caught up in trying to make it pretty or perfect.
