Journaling is an effective way of dealing with anxiety, depression, and other negative traits. But, not only can Journaling help you improve your mental health, it can also improve your memory, health, positivity, gratitude and assist you in setting and achieving goals you never thought were possible.

What are the benefits of journaling?

Journaling has so many benefits; it’s not just for when we’re feeling anxious or depressed.
By writing about the things that are on your mind, you will automatically begin to feel better. Why? Because by releasing all of those thoughts and feelings that you may have been keeping inside, your body relaxes.

The tension you may have felt, alleviates. The raised blood pressure you may have been experiencing, drops. The stress you’re putting your immune system through, relaxes and allows all those white blood cells to return to doing what they do best, fighting off the diseases that they were put there to fight off in the first place.

Physical Benefits

The Physical Health benefits of journaling are astounding. Research has shown that by writing ’emotionally’, we feel better, not just in our minds, but physically in our bodies too. It lowers blood pressure and boosts the immune system too – why are we avoiding all this goodness?
