For her, journal writing helped through some difficult times and also helped her remember the happier ones.
Her list:
- It brings me clarity
- I can weigh the pros and cons without hearing anyone else give their two-cent opinion
- It helps me focus
- For accountability
- It's a safe place for all my innermost desires
- I can yell in my journal and no one will hear me raise my voice
- It increases my self-awareness
- It reduces stress
- It quiets my monkey mind
- I can track my own progress
- It becomes great source material for articles, programs, eClasses, etc.
- It's a convenient storage location for thoughts, quotes and inspirational messages
- For to-do lists
- For done lists (I LOVE my done lists!)
- For achievements
- A place to work through my struggles
- A place to freely complain and then release
- A safe place to face my fears and deal with them head-on
- Questions for the universe when I don't have any answers
- It's my own self-learning guide
- It gives me peace of mind
- It's a dream catcher
- It's a vision illuminator
- For answers from the universe when I'm quiet enough to hear my "inner knower"
- It's an idea incubator
- It's a judgment-free zone
