Writing a Joural and How It Affects Our Emotions
Writing anything in general do effect our emotions for the best, if you feel like it is hard to explain emotions to someone you can start explaining it to yourself and hopefully name it! Now in this post we will see how important it can be!
One of the best ways to deal with your emotions is to keep a journal. Keeping a journal can be a form of therapy and have a positive impact on your mental health.
The benefits of putting your feelings in writing can improve your emotional health and overall well-being. As part of your personal development, you may consider journaling. One of the best things about using a journal to learn more about yourself is that you get to know yourself better.
Now let see the different emotions it affected in our mind:
Effects on Mental Health
There is plenty of evidence that writing down your personal feelings and thoughts can help you cope with mental health issues. For example, if you have anxiety, it can help you understand why you feel that way and perhaps make it easier to get over these emotional impasses.
The Effect of Journaling on Creativity
Keeping a journal not only improves your emotional health but also sparks your creativity. The flow of thought created can help give birth to new ideas.
A diary is a zone of opportunities that can stimulate your creative energy. You can document your ideas, goals, and dreams for your work or school projects. This can be a tangible expression of your creative thinking, which can increase your creativity.
Each new journal entry is a new way to stretch your creative abilities. Writing is a creative process, and writing regularly in a journal can continually improve your creative thinking abilities.
Writing Your Own History
In the routine rush of life, we can sometimes forget where we come from and where we want to go. But remember, you are the hero of your life and therefore you have the right to write your own history book. Keeping a diary means writing a personal script of your life. At this point, we realize that we are writing our own history.
Our self-defining memories and experiences become more valuable over time. Think about your baby’s first steps, the moment you first fell in love, your graduation day, or your first day at work. The diary has the genius to preserve all these memories forever.
Taking notes allows us to focus on ourselves and remember every moment we have experienced. Remembering the past by keeping a diary, we cannot know what will happen in the future, but we can connect with our past and learn from it. It allows us to understand ourselves better.
Emotional Healing Process
Perhaps the most important aspect of journaling is that it engages you in an emotional healing process. During stressful or emotionally difficult times, most of us want to put what we are feeling on paper. Maybe in a locked notebook so that no one else can read it, or maybe on random papers in a corner of the drawer.
For example, you can journal to maintain emotional balance after a loss. When you lose a loved one, you can ease your inner world a little by transferring this pain to paper. You can write down your memories, the details you remember, your feelings, and keep them.
Additionally, by writing down the negative events we experience, we can re-evaluate them objectively. Thus, we can look at events from a different perspective and develop a healthier attitude towards events.
