Why start journalling?

by Collectic Hub

If you’ve clicked on this thinking you’re about to unlock all the secrets of journalling, you might be more surprised than you think.

Believe it or not, there is no right or wrong way of journalling and the main goal of practicing it is all about discovering the inner workings of you. You’re connecting with your inner thoughts, emotions and feelings and by writing, drawing or even videoing yourself talking about your experiences, you’re essentially bringing these into awareness, giving yourself clarity, so you can start mapping and processing this in your life.

For those of you looking for a more definitive answer of why you should start a journal, here are some whys below.

  • Collection of your thoughts & emotions

Have you ever had a tough day and felt all sorts of different ways? Perhaps you’re the opposite and you had a fantastic day that you never want to forget. Regardless, writing about your thoughts and emotions allow you to fully feel and release these. It’s a record of your life and you can choose to revisit them at any time.

  • Practice of mindfullness

We’ve all been there, kings and queens of multitasking, however practicing mindfullness can be more challenging than you think. Journalling allows you to focus on one specific task and be truly present with your current experience.

  • Motivates & Helps Destress

If you’re a goal setter, journalling helps keep you accountable throughout the year. Reminding yourself of your goals and identifying ways that you can achieve them keeps it consistent and more likely not to forget about it.

As a destress method, journalling before bed does wonders. Firstly, it takes you away from the screen and allows you to release your thoughts onto a piece of paper. We can’t typically write as fast as we type, so this helps us slow down and take a breath.

  • Journalling Techniques

Remember when we said there’s no right or wrong way to journal? That’s because there are so many different ways to do it. Some techniques we’ve been loving include bullet journalling, morning pages, gratitude journalling, dream journalling and the list really could go on.

Journalling is all about finding what works for you. At the end of the day, it’s you and only you that get to reap the benefits of journalling and we hope you give it a go!
