Welcome my dear Substack friends to this lively conversation with my gifted friend Jenna about journalling.
We chat about a subject that has been an important practice in our lives for many years. It’s supported us through the highs and lows in the following ways:
emotional expression
stress reduction
self-reflection
problem solving
personal growth
catharsis and healing
mood regulation
and so much more!
If you’d like to know more about journalling and how best to start then please refer to the resources section below this blog. You’ll find links to some great articles about this wonderful practice.
In case you’re wondering what journalling is, here’s a great description:
‘Journaling is the practice of regularly writing down your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and reflections. It can take various forms and serve multiple purposes, including personal reflection, goal setting and planning, creative expression, and gratitude development. Plus, anyone can learn how to write a journal and start.
Journaling is one of the most powerful and accessible self-improvement activities. It doesn’t require special knowledge and costs as little as a piece of paper and a pen. You can do it at any time of day and in just about any setting.
Journaling requires little risk and offers great reward, making it a fitting exercise for understanding yourself better and creating order out of perceived chaos. However, getting started can be the hardest part. Understanding the many benefits of journaling and its best practices can help you make it a daily habit.
Enjoy this relaxed conversation with Jenna and me as we explore a topic close to our hearts and minds…
