iCrowdNewswire <\/strong>  Mar 5, 2021  2:17 AM ET<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in our teenage and even pre-teen years, keeping a diary used to be the cool thing to do. Most of us used to have a pretty little notebook which used to contain our deepest, darkest secrets; whatever deep dark secrets our minds contained at that time!<\/p>\n

Diaries were classic and now are making a comeback as journaling. Journaling is not a new concept by any means, but it has become wildly popular over the years. Not only are they used to record your thoughts, but you can also use your journal to keep track of your goals and ambitions, and even keep a check on your daily accomplishments such as your water intake or calorie count.<\/p>\n

We have come to realize that journaling has a myriad of health benefits as well. Here are some of them:<\/p>\n

It Helps with Stress<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Stress usually builds up in our minds when we are burdened by many thoughts and concerns and cannot seem to organize them. When we are stressed, our mind is occupied for sure, but our body also takes a hit. Neck and shoulder pains are often associated with high-stress levels as is the release of cortisol, a stress hormone that has a largely negative impact on our body.<\/p>\n

When you journal your thoughts or the daily occurrences of your life, you can relieve some of the stress from your mind. You will be able to better organize your thoughts which can give you clarity and help you prioritize your concerns. You can then tackle your concerns one by one instead of having them all weigh on you.<\/p>\n

Can Catalyze Overall Wellness<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our general well-being is dependent on our physical and mental health. When we journal, we can keep track of how healthy we are as well. For example, you can keep a record of how much water you are drinking or how many calories or macros you are taking in a day. You may also keep track of your daily exercise or other physical activity.<\/p>\n

Keeping track of your health in this way will keep you generally well and prevent medical conditions from arising. Noting down your progress will keep the additional stress of remembering these things out of your mind as well, which will keep you mentally sound.<\/p>\n

Helps You Identify Patterns<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you ever feel like you are spiraling into a wormhole of anxiety or stress, it might help you to identify your own patterns. When you jot down the happenings of your daily life, you can figure out certain habits that you have, for example spending endless hours scrolling on social media and immediately finding yourself in an anxious headspace. Journaling can help you steer clear of these habits.<\/p>\n

Additionally, if you keep journaling for a long time, let\u2019s say a couple of months or years, you can flip the pages and figure out long-term patterns that you follow. Identifying your patterns will help you break them if necessary or acknowledge an aspect of your personality.<\/p>\n

It Can Potentially Boost Immunity<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This may feel like a far-fetched benefit, but studies have actually shown<\/a><\/u> that journaling and expressive writing can help in boosting your immunity by making the liver and kidneys more efficient in their functions. Not only that, but expressive writing is also shown to help heal wounds faster<\/a><\/u> as well. Even if the effect is not magnanimous, it is still a benefit!<\/p>\n

In addition to this, you can also boost your immunity by reminding yourself to make improvements in your diet through your journal. Noting down in your journal whether you had fruits and green vegetables that day will help in keeping you on track.<\/p>\n

Relieves Insomnia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Studies have also shown that journaling regularly can improve your ability to sleep peacefully as well. At some point in our lives, we have all tossed and turned in bed, overthinking about a thing we should have achieved or wondered if we missed out on anything. The studies in question<\/a><\/u> have shown that writing to-do lists before bed where you can list out tasks of the following day or cross-out tasks from the current day will help in easing your mind and making you sleep better.<\/p>\n

Sharpens Your Memory<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Writing about the things we need to remember is an age-old tactic, relayed over and over by our teachers and parents. Just like we used to take notes in school to recall lectures, we will benefit from taking notes in real life as well.<\/p>\n

Writing about major events or things you are anticipating or should be vigilant about helps you to remember them. It could be anything from random trivia or your dentist\u2019s appointment; if you have jotted it down it is going to stick with you for a while.<\/p>\n

Journaling is also an excellent way to remember important dates such as birthdays and anniversaries so that you can remember them and maybe even plan something out.<\/p>\n

Will Help You Accomplish Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lastly, journaling can also help you accomplish long-term and short-term goals. If you keep a separate journal for every year, you could try to list out long-term goals that you wish to achieve by the end of the year or even later. If you don\u2019t achieve certain things, do not fret! You can simply carry them on to the next year! The key is to remember what you are working towards.<\/p>\n

For short-term goals, you could write out a list for every month with goals that can help you snowball towards what you wish to achieve in the long run. For example, if you are on a weight-loss journey, a short-term goal of losing 5 pounds in a month can snowball into a considerable difference by the end of the year!<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Journaling is an excellent habit and we are glad it is making a comeback. With digitized platforms easily available now, we can make our own journal in a nice hardcover or simply on our phones! All in all, it will promote our health in unique ways.<\/p>\n
