Journaling is not limited to that now and is treated as a form of self-expression that can boost and lift the mental thoughts, intentions and complex feelings. Journaling your thoughts are helpful for many purposes and give mental clarity to your thoughts and feelings. Due to the introduction of technology, we often forget about journaling our thoughts and mostly involve ourselves in texting, chatting or writing down memos on the phones but let us tell you that penning down your thoughts on a diary with a pen has its own plenty of significant benefits.

• Give you a positive and happy mood: Various researches suggest that regular activity of journaling can easily fill you up with a positive sense while boosting your mood. Not abiding by this, journaling can also help in eliminating the negative emotions from the mind.

• Helps in organizing your thoughts: A regular journaling therapy for about 30-45 minutes can easily help you in sorting out your thoughts just like talking therapy. Writing therapy will arrange the clutter of thoughts going around in your mind while providing you with a clearer perspective. It further helps you in making you more active by cleaning your own negative thoughts while assisting in building more unblemished connections.
• Help you in going through tough memories: If you are suffering from some traumatic or hard to forget memories that bring on pain- then the permanent solution to this is ‘jotting down’. Journaling can declutter your memories while working on your hemispheres of the brain. Journaling can help in releasing emotions and make your mental health better.
