Journaling is much more than just keeping a diary.  Journaling is a practice that helps you focus, meet your goals, and improve your mental state. It can help you clear your head as well as make connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Keeping a daily journal helps clarify events and emotions for you and helps improve recall.  Keeping a travel journal is a great way to unwind after a busy day and create a keepsake of memories. Keeping a dream journal and interpreting dreams gives you a window into who you are and what is going in your mind. Writing a gratitude journal has been shown to be an effective tool for bringing yourself out of a slump and improving your quality of life.

Journaling every day is a great habit to get into. The time you spend journaling is time well spent and it’s something that almost anyone can do at almost any age.
