Want to permanently capture those important moments? Or create a daily routine filled with quiet, self-reflection?
If so, then the secret is to build the "journal writing habit."
The truth is journaling can change your life. With journal writing, you can become healthier, happier, smarter, and more self-aware. In fact, there are numerous science-backed benefits of journal writing. For instance, journaling can help: relieve your stress levels, improve your sleep, close those nagging "open loops" in your life, and cope with traumatic events from your past.
Although journaling has many benefits, it's also a very challenging habit to build. In fact, there are eight common roadblocks that people experience with journal writing. They say things like:
"I need concrete strategies and a step-by-step process for turning journaling into a consistent habit."
"Journaling feels overwhelming. I don't know what to do or how to do it."
"I've tried so many times before, and I just can't stick with it."
"My life is so busy that I can't find the time to journal."
"My journal is never around when I need it, so I forget to write."
"I have no idea what to write about. Staring at a blank page is intimidating."
"I'm afraid someone will read my journal."
"I don't know what kind of journal I need—there are so many types out there."
If any of these challenges sound familiar, then you should purchase this book: Effortless Journaling -- How to Start a Journal, Make It a Habit, and Find Endless Writing Topics.
