Improves writing skills, strengthens vocabulary helps to reduce stress and anxiety, helps to increase your communication skills, helps you achieve your goals, helps to get rid of the excess load in your brain, good friend for introverts, reserves all your memories.

I have been journaling for 8 years, and I enjoy writing at the end of the day about details of the whole day, my feeling & thoughts in it. It relaxes my mind to a great extent.

1. Improves writing skills: Journaling improves your writing skills. I have experienced it myself. During my initial years of journaling, I found writing difficult because I could not write sentences correctly. But writing, again and again, helps me improve my writing.

2. Strengthens your vocabulary: When you are writing regularly, there will be some time when you will search for new words because you don’t know the meaning of that word in English. In this way, your vocabulary will improve, and you will get to know new words daily.

3. Increase your communication skills: You will be talking and expressing yourself while writing, and in this way, you will be working on your communication skills.

4. Increases your chance to achieve goals: It’s a fact that writing down increases the likelihood of achieving. So why not write your goals, plans, and dreams in your journal.

5. Get rid of access load: If you are an overthinker, then a journal can help you. You can write anything in your journal.
Write anything and everything coming into your mind. Write about your thoughts, your feelings, etc. Doing this will help you get rid of excess load in your brain and will relax your mind.

If you are an introvert, then a journal can be your best friend. Share your feelings, secrets, thoughts, and everything you share with a friend in your journal.

Journal preserve all your memories. In the future, when you will be old and at that time when you will flip through your journal, all the memories will revive.
And that’s why everyone should start journaling.

Thank You!
