Todays book recommendation is actually a journal! Yes this is my case of journals and as a good writer I have several with ideas, partials stories, partial novels, and poems. But journaling isn’t just for kids! 📝
According to some mental health experts journaling daily or often can help reduce anxiety and depression, improve memory, help process trauma, and improve attitude with gratitude just to name a few.
While I love to write my stories out in journals I also find myself taking the time to write out my feelings to help me process them. Or if I read a self help book, or the Bible, I like to write out how the passage made me feel or what thoughts came to mind. I even journal my dreams (I recommended a great one called Dreamer of Dreams Dream Journal – you can find it in a previous post). 📔
Journaling is not just for us writers or readers but for anyone! This journal was gifted to me several years ago from Barnes and Noble’s which has a great selection of all types of journals (which is why my husband steers me clear because I try to walk out with a new one each time! 😁). It doesn’t have to be fancy. Even a composition notebook 📓 from Target or Walmart will do. And you know Amazon has a plethora of them too!
Do you journal? What do you like to journal about? What does your journal look like? Send me a pic!📒
Until next time…Happy Writing or Journaling!
