Journaling for Good
Exploring what it means to “grow”
Lately, my news and social media feeds are full of journal ads. It seems there is a journal for every personality and aspiration.
There are tracking journals, management journals, and journals specifically to help with productivity, gratitude, dreams, travel, creativity (writing and artistic), food (for the experience or for dieting), reading, gardening, project management, fitness, and more!
But why journal?
I recently read that journaling is keeping a relationship with your mind. You may want to improve something specific, like your health, so you track your exercise and diet. Or perhaps improving your outlook on life, so you capture reflections on things you can be thankful for.
Journals are also for managing how you get stuff done. There is much of our life where we have responsibilities both at work and with people we are close to, family and friends. With all those moving parts, we want to keep things running smoothly and improving. This is also a valuable use for journals.
