If you think that you need elaborate journaling supplies to journal effectively, you may want to rethink that mindset. All you need is yourself, a comfortable pen or pencil, and the willingness to be open and intentional about journaling.
Now is the time to go over the benefits of journaling. Life can be stressful, and not everyone has the ability to go and see a therapist. While seeing a therapist should be the goal, one very powerful tool that you have available is putting pen to paper and writing out your thoughts and feelings.
As this is not medical advice, this article will go over what works for me. The process that works for you is totally your own and can be found out by testing different techniques.
On the same hand, I believe that getting thoughts out of your head is a great way to relieve stress. Take a look at these proven benefits of journaling:
- Reduces Stress. An overabundance of stress can be damaging to your physical, mental, and emotional health.
- Improves Immune Function.
- Keeps Memory Sharp.
- Boosts Mood.
- Strengthens Emotional Functions.
Many people have their ideas of what journaling supplies they need, but I prefer to keep it simple. For me, nothing beats simple paper and pen. In addition to a great morning routine, journaling can also be a great way to release pent-up feelings and remove negative energy.
However, even if you do not journal in the morning, it can still have the same benefits no matter what time of day you do it!
