The easiest way to practice self-care daily!

An easy and healing way to channel energy is writing. Writing for a purpose, or simply journaling can take a lot of stress and burden off our chests.

Journaling or writing down our thoughts can have immense positive effects on our health. Believe it or not, expressive writing can help regulate blood pressure levels, increase immunity, help us deal with pain, quit addictions, and improve our flexibility.

Journaling works by releasing an entire range of pent-up emotions, negativity, and toxins.

Writing is also a good and easy exercise for your brain. It does wonders for memory retention and improves working memory capacity, which enhances your cognitive functioning in both the short-run and the long-run.

So, if you’re looking to better your health and well-being in a jiffy, start maintaining a journal for your thoughts. Here is an easy way to follow through:

-Aim at writing for about 20 minutes every day.

-If there is anything stressing you out, make sure to mention that. Benchmarks and achievements should make it to the journal too. Journaling can also be practiced at a time when you are facing conflict and delay the release of aggression as well.

-Don’t worry about the form and grammar. The trick is to write down the words that you feel.

-Once you start writing, make it a regular habit.

Happy journaling!
