Journaling can be extremely therapeutic for mental health. It provides us with a cathartic way to express our thoughts, where we can bring out our subconscious emotions.
When a person chronicles their feelings, they become more cognizant of their experiences. Writing down daily thoughts and experiences increases introspection and improves our discernment.
Often, we embellish our memories, which increases our nostalgia, but journaling provides us with a more lucid perspective on our past. It's not just a medium for expressing emotions; rather, it teaches us profound thinking and increases contemplation. Regular writing can rejuvenate our minds, bringing mental peace.
Therefore, journaling is not just for disseminating our current thoughts, but it helps us better modulate our future.
