“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” Louis L’Amour

This section is reserved for any content that is more of us just wanting to share our thoughts, hearts, and stories. You can think of this section kind of like a public journal but without the TMI. We are big fans of journalling and Lydia has kept a daily journal since she was in the 4th grade. 

Journaling is a powerful tool that can help us gain clarity, reduce stress, and increase self-awareness. It involves writing down our thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a personal diary or journal. While some people may think of journaling as a hobby or a form of self-expression, it has much deeper benefits for our mental and emotional well-being. 

  1. Self-reflection: Journaling allows us to reflect on our thoughts and feelings in a safe and private space. By writing down our innermost thoughts and feelings, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our emotions. This self-reflection helps us to recognize patterns in our behavior, and identify areas of our lives that we want to change or improve.

  2. Stress relief: Writing down our thoughts and feelings can be an effective way to reduce stress and anxiety. It can help us to process our emotions and gain a new perspective on our problems. By putting our thoughts on paper, we can release them from our minds and feel more relaxed and calm.

  3. Goal setting: Journaling can be a great way to set and track our personal goals. Writing down our goals, whether they are short-term or long-term, can help us to focus our energy and motivation towards achieving them. It also allows us to track our progress and celebrate our successes along the way.

  4. Memory preservation: Journaling can serve as a record of our life experiences and memories. By writing down our thoughts and experiences, we can preserve our memories for future reflection. This can be particularly valuable for individuals who want to remember important moments in their lives or those who want to leave a legacy for future generations.

  5. Creativity: Journaling can be a form of creative expression, allowing us to explore our thoughts and emotions in a creative and imaginative way. It can be a safe space to experiment with different writing styles and techniques, and to discover new ways of expressing ourselves.

In conclusion, journaling is an important tool that can help us gain clarity, reduce stress, and increase self-awareness. It allows us to reflect on our thoughts and feelings, set personal goals, preserve our memories, and express our creativity. Whether it’s through a traditional diary or a digital journal, journaling is a valuable habit that can improve our mental and emotional well-being.
