Why is journaling good for you? 10 health benefits of journaling

Reduce stress naturally with a dose of journaling. There are so many reasons to journal but I'm limiting myself to 10 health benefits of journaling for the purpose of this video.

I've always loved to write things down, whether a to do list, a mind map, etc. It helps me organize my thoughts. But it was only when I went traveling around the world on my own for a year that I really felt a 'need' for journaling.

Journaling became my friend! I took a pen and notebook everywhere. To restaurants eating on my own, on long, bumpy bus rides, in ant-infested hotel rooms.

A journal kept me company when I was lonely, helped me process difficult situations and reduce stress when my introverted self wanted to stay holed up in the hotel room.

So here are some of the reasons journaling could help you.
1. It helps process your emotions.
2. It helps to reflect and become self-aware.
3. It provides a healthy outlet for emotions.
4. It can improve your physical health.
5. Journaling promotes creativity and in turn, helps you become calm.
6. It gives rise to the true, inner you.
7. It can improve your relationships with others.
8. Writing provides a moment of stillness, like meditation.
9. Journaling scans for any emotional tension.
10. Journaling can help with mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression.

It's such a low cost activity, all that is required is a pen and paper. Who know's, it could improve your wellbeing.
