The Joy of Journalling!
"Better out than in."
- Shreck
I have a really busy head! It can often feel very chaotic inside my brain. And when the old "mind masturbation" thing starts happening, I know I need to get it out instead of letting it fester inside.But not only is journalling an excellent way of stopping the chaos, I have also learned it's actually good for me!According tohttp://www.mytherapyjournal.com/whyjournal/Journalling can:• Improve physical health and mental well-being• Diminish symptoms of depression, anxiety, panic, substance abuse, PTSD, asthma, arthritis, and many other health conditions and disorders• Improve cognitive functioning• Make therapy more effective• Strengthen the immune system, preventing a host of illnesses• Counteract many of the negative effects of stress• Finally, journaling is for everyone.
