Not just for 90s 15 year olds

As human beings, we tend to forget more than what we learn, so, in an attempt to get a hold to all the information we're presented to from day to day, we've searched for alternatives such as gathering this data in a physical form, whether in the form of written word or, more recently, voice recording or video. In this particular case, we'll talk about the first, and the eldest of them all, Journaling.

What is Journaling?

Journaling is the practice of translating own thoughts and experiences into a written form, saving all this in a physical register, such as a notebook, phone or any device that can gather this. This method is not limited to just writing about what happened in the day, as many people use It to figure out and interpret their own moods and feelings during a particular situation. Also, one of Its remarkable characteristic Is that It is highly customizable and unique to every person, as creativity is used in the way Its content is displayed.

Advantages of Journaling:

As a meditative exercise, we find that It can have huge benefits for the user, such as:

• A record of memories and events that happened during a particular date.

• The capacity to develop an Idea into a full map for Its realization.

• Being able to reflect over the past, analyze the present and plan for the future in a comfortable way.

• Gaining perspective on the directions that life's taking.

• Being able to subject emotions to deep examination and connecting their effects to their causes.

• Taking better decisions as a larger perspective is developed.

And many more such as relaxation as we are able to pierce or soul into the pages of our journal and take the time to talk with ourselves.

Also, one of Its advantages is that It isn't difficult to put in practice as there are no limitations or rules in the way we present the information, being us and only us the judges in the case of how the message is portrayed.

We hope that in this short article, you can learn a little more about Journaling and what It can do for you as this beautiful form of expression and self reflexion is presented, encouraging you to take a little time out of your day to get into a conversation with yourself via writing and putting your feelings through an spectator lens in order to take the best choice when It comes to the way you respond to life challenges.
