How a little pen and paper could save your life
Why you should journal
I attribute a large chunk of my personal growth to the seemingly simple practice of writing in a journal.
Everything about my life has improved since I started putting pen to paper. Stronger relationships, better health, a more lucrative career, fulfilling hobbies, goals and purpose. The list goes on.
On the surface, journaling doesn’t seem like it would do a whole lot. Monkey write on paper so monkey feel better? Yes, but journaling is like golf, chess, and meditation—hit ball into hole, capture king, sit and think about nothing. Ogres and onions. Layers. Simple on the surface with a complicated core. Letting the demons spill out onto the pages of a pocket notebook will help with anxiety, sure, but there’s so much more to it than meets the eye—something I failed to notice when I started.
Today, I’m going to talk about those hidden features that only start to make sense once you start. Today I’m going to talk about why you should journal for the rest of your life.
Shall we?
