10 Beautiful Benefits of Journaling

Journaling has come a long way. Back in the day, journaling was used as a sort of “Dear Diary” entry. Thankfully now, you can use journaling as a powerful tool for transformation. Putting problems and the emotions that come along with them on paper not only helps you gain clarity but, more importantly, helps you to move forward with a plan of action.

You get to create a connection and enhance your relationship to yourself by putting thoughts, emotions, and beliefs down on paper. What a blessing to get more connected with yourself and ask deeper questions to unravel emotions and problems.
By putting all those overwhelming thoughts on paper, they now become real in time and space. It is a release. You get to remove it from your body, mind, and spirit. Now it becomes separate from yourself, and you can look at your emotions, situations, and circumstances more objectively.
You now get to pray over, ask for guidance, and look at your problem, emotion, or issue as something tangible to deal with and can begin to gain the clarity you need to create a strategy to solve the problem or deal with the emotions.
You get to separate fact from fiction.
You get to master your emotions, so your emotions don’t control you.
You get to see repetitive patterns, limiting beliefs and emotional untruths through the art of self-awareness which is the best first step to any transformation.
You get to create your next best step through intentional action steps and new strategies both emotionally and practically.
You get the satisfaction of feeling like you’ve checked this situation off the to-do list.
You create your own accountability.
You finally get to embody a new belief and see transformation right before your very eyes.
