3 reasons you’ll love mindful journaling, friend 🖋️

Hi there,

Mindful journaling has long been a part of the constellation of practices that help to bring clarity and enhance the quality of everyday life.

If youve been curious about how journaling can empower your daily practice, here are three big reasons to give it a try:

1. Its a proven stress and anxiety reliever. Writing focuses our attention, because we can only write about one thing at a time. In this process of slowing down, our breathing regulates, our thoughts become less jumbled, and we experience the release of giving voice to what we might have been holding in. Often just naming an experience or emotion has the effect of bringing more calm.
2. It doesnt matter if youre a writer or not. Sometimes people resist starting a journaling practice because they dont see themselves as writers. But the truth is, journaling can be great for anyone. The power of the process is in simply sitting with your own thoughts and paying attention to moments in your day, and then recording them in whatever way works for you, whether thats bullet points or lengthy sentences. There really is no right or wrong way to do it, and theres a lot of room for your unique way of expressing yourself.
3. It turbo-charges your awareness and gratitude. As with other mindful practices, the keener our attention becomes, the more we start to pick up on all the shimmering moments in our days that we often pass over in a blur. And the more we noticewell, the more we notice. The physical act of writing down moments of gratitude actually solidifies the memory and the feeling in our brains, so its like we get to experience the sweetness all over again.

In collaboration with our friends at Mindful.org, we created the Mindful Living Journal. Its a beautiful and practical resource that can give gentle structure for anyone looking to start or grow a journaling practice.
