Journaling
When we’re sick, whether physically or mentally, our minds keep us busy with worry and stress. All that ruminating about what’s going on only makes you more stressed and prevents healing. By journaling, which simply means writing out your feelings, putting on paper what’s going on in our head, it allows you to stop thinking about it knowing it’s safely on the page anytime you need to remember it. It gives you a break from the repeated stories and allows you to focus on actually healing.
That’s the short version. The long versions that it has many other benefits which are undeniable and again, it’s free.
Here are some other possible benefits from journaling:
​
1- It helps you heal form the past

3- It helps you achieve your goals
4- It improves your memory
5- It improves vocabulary
6- It strengthens self discipline and routine
7- It increases your level of creativity
8- It increases self confidence
