Journaling Can Improve Your Mental Health?

Introduction

First of all, this World belongs to no one. Our Life since We came to Earth is only a very Short time. We should be as Happy as Possible in this Short time. This small Life is full of Everything. Life has many Evolutions, such as Joy, Sorrow and Hardship. One important thing to remember is that We cannot express our feelings to all People and all Times. These Unexpressed feelings have a Profound impact on Us, both Physically and Mentally. By Practicing Journaling, We are able to Express these Feelings. What is Journaling? What are the Benefits of it for Us? How can we Follow it? It will improve our Mental Health? You can Find Everything on this Post.

What is Journaling?

Journaling is about Writing down notes about Interesting Things, Experiences and many other things that Happened in our Lives in a Day. It is a one of the best Habit to Improve our Mental Health. We don’t need any Special Skills for this Habit. We can Just keep a Notebook or even our Mobile Phone to note it down. The People we think of are not always there to Share our Thoughts with. All you Need is a Notebook and a Pen Enough to Share your Thoughts in Writing Without any Hidden agenda.

Let’s see How Journaling Improves Our Mental Health.

1. Journaling Reduces Mental Clutter

The Human Brain Cannot Continue to Function beyond a Certain Level. For Example, Let’s take a Computer. If we give it tasks that Exceed it’s Processing Capacity, it’s Performance will Decrease. Our Brain gets Tired, if we keep Thinking about Our Worries, Workload, to-do List, Relationship. Keeping all these feelings Bottled up inside our Minds Creates a kind of Mental Confusion Within us. This Mental Clutter becomes a Stumbling Block that Prevents us from Completing any Task Completely. To Relieve from this Mental Clutter and Stress, We need to Share our Feelings with Someone. Journaling is a Great Way to Share our Emotions and Thoughts.

2. Journaling Helps you to Identify Who You are?

What Distinguishes us from one another is our Thoughts and Habits. If you keep Journaling, you can Identify Who You are? For Example, Let’s say an event Happens in your Life Today. Whatever it is, whether it’s Happy or Sad if you Write it down in your Journal Entry, when you Read that Post Later those Memories will Remind you of who you were then and Who You are Now. Journaling includes everything from Happiness, Sad, Worry and Anger. So it’s Reflecting your Character and Journaling showing your Positive Portion and also the Negative Portion. This way you Know How your Mood was Yesterday and How it is Today. If you Know Yourself as this is Who am I? You can easily Overcome all Obstacles in Life and be Successful in Life.

3. Reduces Stress and Increasing Self-Awareness

Firstly, if we want to know something we First need Curiosity about the Matter. It’s the same with Journaling, We don’t know the Benefits of it until we know about it. In Today’s Generation One Problem we all face in this day and age is Stress, and many Studies have shown that we can Reduce it through Journaling. Not Expressing Thoughts and Feelings is a Major cause of Depression. One reason for not being able to Express our Thoughts and Emotions is the Situation, another is having no one With us. Journaling helps us when we can’t Express Ourselves. Journaling is a Mirror that Reflects who we are. People around us can think Whatever they want about us, but we must have an Understanding who we are. When this Understanding come to us, Stress and Depression will Disappear. Self-Awareness and Mental Health will be Increased Automatically.

4. Journaling Improves Memory Power

Memories are the most Beautiful thing in our Lives, and it is up to us to make them Happy or Sad. We can Record these Beautiful Memories through Journaling. Journaling can increase our Mindfulness Power day by day. Because every night our Minds try to remember the Events that Happened that day. Sitting in Solitude Like this and noting down all of our Current Experiences, Thoughts, Feelings and Opinions reduces Stress. When Stress is Reduced, then Memory Automatically Improves. Beautiful Memories can bring us Joy, and when we Look back on these Memories, it feels like we have Traveled back in Time. One thing that Never Happens in our Life is that we go back to our Past. By Reading our Journaling, we can Revisit our Past Based on our Memories. If we Consider Journaling as a Necessity of Life and Follow it, We will Receive many Benefits.

How to Start Journaling?

As for Journaling, I recommend using Books as much as possible. Because the feeling of Holding that Book in your Hand and Reading it will give you a Pleasant Excitement. Using a Mobile Phone or Computer for Journaling doesn’t Provide much of that Enjoyment. Do not Write more than is Necessary or in your favour, only write about the Events that Actually Happened.

Tips for Journaling

Expensive Technology Facilities are not Required, just a Book and a Pen is enough for it.
Spend 15 to 20 Minutes for Writing, Specifically, Spend whenever your mind is Calm, Without any Disturbance.
Instead of Thinking that we will Write it down when we have Time, set aside a Special Time for it and Write it down Regularly.
You are the Only one who will Read What you Write, So Write only what Happened Honestly.
Journaling should not be Thought of as Homework, Consider as a Tool to Promote Mental Health.

Conclusion

Finally, when we were Children, Our Mental Health and Peace of Mind were Unaffected. As we enter Adolescence, our Mind is affected by various factors such as Studies, Workload and Family Difficulties. These Factors that Cannot be Expressed in this way cause us Stress and Mental Anguish. Journaling is a Tool that improves Our Mental Health. If we Express Ourselves without any kind of Malice, Hatred or Anxiety in our Minds, it will Increase our Mental Peace. In Journaling, you can Express your Thoughts without any Fear, Hesitation or any kind of Inhibition.
