About a week ago, I started journaling again after a relapse of over a year. I was extremely consistent throughout college and into the first few months of marriage, meaning I kept one for over five years. Personally, I found journaling to be very therapeutic, so I can't believe I have neglected the activity for such a long period of time. Nor do I know why I ever quit in the first place! I am also kind of kicking myself for not keeping one throughout my pregnancy, but at least I can after the baby is born to record all the big moments as he grows up too fast.
After I completely get over perfecting penmenship and readability (which sometimes hinders me from expressing my true thoughts) I find the habit to benefit me in a lot of ways including:
Reduces my stress levels
Gives me better focus by clearing my mind
Gauges personal/spiritual growth over time
Captures life's moments so I don't forget
Allows me to be totally candid
Well, I feel like I am journaling about journaling right now, sorry about that. Anyway, maybe if I am brave enough, I will share excerpts from my journal at times on my blog--no promises.
