Change Your Life by Journaling in 2024: Tip to Improve Your Mental Health

How is it possible that journaling can change your life? You wouldn't believe if I said this because it's going to feel so surreal but I am here to let you know the changes that you're about to experience is so profound where you wouldn't even believe it's actually happening.

Your mental health is going to improve significantly
I can't run away from the fact that how ONE simple habit can impact your mindset significantly. Didn't they said this once?

"It is usually the smallest step that holds the greatest impact in your life."

That's exactly what journaling does my friend. In simple term, journaling is an act of writing but the key here is to treat it like a therapy.

The only difference is you don't need to pay. It is completely FREE. You can do it anytime and anywhere just by yourself. Another fun fact is that there's no fear of judgment over here.

Sometimes in life we don't need opinion/feedback/consolation/motivation in fact sometimes we just want to be HEARD. Our thoughts need EARS. Our thoughts need ATTENTION. They just need to be released and that's where your journal comes into play my friend.

Here are some hacks of journaling that I've compiled over the years:

Treat journaling as if you're speaking to your therapist.
Make journaling your positive stress coping mechanism.
There's no specific structure/system for you to specifically follow.
Instead be free. Let yourself loose and go with the flow.
Write whatever you're feeling right now.
Write the mixed thoughts that is running all over your mind right now.
Release all the mental energy and emotions that is compressed within your being right now.
Once you do this I promise you this. You are going to feel an instant energy shift. Do you know why? As you're writing you are actually releasing the tension from your being directly through your pencil/pen flowing into your journal.

You are going to feel so much lighter and if you would ask me "How is this going to improve my mental health?"
