Since middle school, I would say I have always written down whatever my thoughts were. I think I have a bout 50 journals all shapes, sizes, and colors filled with whatever. I love writing and I love creating. After I write whatever I am feeling or thinking, I always feel relieved. Now that I am older I have started to write more about my future, like the things I want to accomplish. I also included keeping track of my spending's. So here are my 10 reason why you should keep a journal.
1. Brings clarity
2. Keeps you focused
3. Safe place for desires
4. Reduces stress
5. List goals
6. Helps you plan your dreams
7. Gives you peace of mind. (Meaning helps your mind be at peace)
8. Helps you solve problems
9. Can help to increase your clash flow. (Create either weekly or biweekly list of the bills/necessities you have to pay for the month (rent, car, cell, food, savings etc...) Put the amount next to the item so you can track where your money is going. Don't forget to add your savings. Pay your self $10 or $20 however much a month and DON'T touch that $$ EVER, try to keep that for emergency purposes only. Basically all you have to do with the finance list is stick to the script. Any extra $$ you have at the end is yours to save or splurge.
10. SELF-IMPROVEMENT I sometimes go back and read some of my old journals and laugh at how childish I was most in a bad way but also in a good way. I was a big dreamer and I was just filled with so many adventurous thoughts. I can say that these journals have played a role in me becoming the better woman I am today.
I ask that you try this and keep a journal. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined"
