Why Journal?

Journaling is a great way to reduce stress, improve your immune function, keep your memory sharp, boost your mood, clarify your thoughts and feelings, know yourself better, and solve problems more effectively’

How To Begin Journaling

Your journaling will be most effective if you do it daily for about 20 minutes. Begin anywhere, and forget spelling and punctuation. Write quickly, as this frees your brain from “shoulds” and other blocks to successful journaling. If it helps, pick a theme for the day, week or month (for example, peace of mind, confusion, change or anger). The most important rule of all is that there are no rules.
