Press Release Summary: Of equal importance, journal writing has health benefits.
Before you click away from this article, consider a time in your life when you were
extremely frustrated. Hopefully, you spoke to a friend to "get things off your
chest." Didn't you feel a lot better afterwards? Getting things off your chest helps
relieve stress, one of the biggest killers in our modern society. Journal writing
acts in much the same way since you are able to write your thoughts without fear of
criticism.

There are other benefits to journal writing, but all boil down to one simple fact.
Writing in a journal allows you to express yourself without being judged. With the
lack of privacy in our modern, digital world, that is hardly a small benefit.


Press Release Body: The benefits of journal writing are fairly well established due
to the long history of journal writing. From Anne Frank to Di Vinci, journal writing
has proven itself.

Benefits of Journal Writing

When considering the benefits of journal writing, it is important to set a few
parameters. First, there is no age limit to using journals. There are distinct
benefits for children of all ages, but journal writing is equally valuable to
adults. The reason for this is journal writing is an act of personal reflection.
Whether it is a teenager reflecting on the social nightmare of high school or an
overworked parent taking twenty minutes a night to write is irrelevant. The point
is, all age groups benefit from stepping back from their life for a few moments and
reflecting on things.

Whether you recognize it or not, journal writing provides you with an anchor in your
daily life. In the journal, you are free to write what you want without
restrictions, to truly address the issues in your life without fear of criticism.
Put another way, one of the benefits of journal writing is it acts as a self-help
psychiatrist, but for MUCH cheaper!

As you write in your journal over time, you'll also start to ascertain a second
benefit to doing so. This benefit is one of self-criticism. Inevitably, you'll read
through past entries and review your life. Doing so will lead you to self-reflection
as well as thoughts on how you might act differently should certain situations rise
again.
