The Value of Writing

At the beginning of the year, I made a decision to start the habit of journaling! Journaling seemed like such a simple thing to do, but once I started, I found that it was much more than just writing!

The process of journaling has allowed me to reflect on what I’ve learned, or experienced that day. Rather than just keeping my thoughts in my head, being able to write it down made it easier for me to understand, and relearn, as I write in my own words. The knowledge I learned that day, becomes clearer than when I was just taking notes. It has also allowed me to work through my feelings, process ideas better, and connect what’s really on my mind. Journaling in a way too becomes like a collection of your journey, which makes me see how much I’ve grown that day, which I find really cool!

I’ve been doing my best to make it a habit. Although, it’s still a bit hard up till now, because I can get lazy, but I make it a goal to write at least one every week!

I wanted to share this, because I’ve learned that, as a creative, or even in everyday life, there are so many things that happen. Our minds can be filled with so much, that it can overwhelm us. The process of writing it down keeps one’s mind focused, and helps maintain continuity of your thoughts. You might want to try it out too!

Til then, Stay Creative!
