1 New Year Resolution I Want to Keep – How to Start Journaling

My 2023 New Year Resolution – Why I Am Starting Journaling & Its Benefits

I remember keeping a journal when I was little. My dad used to buy diaries from the local shop. They had colorful plastic covers and pages for every day – like daily planners. It had to be when I was in Grade 5 or so.

Somehow, I discontinued keeping journals since then, but not I am coming back to this after a few decades. I am into pens, notebooks, and planners and after reading about the many benefits of regular journaling, I decided to give it a try starting in 2023.

Daily writing practice can be enormously helpful in terms of clarifying your thoughts and goals. It is our nature to overthink things and get caught in a spiral of thoughts going nowhere. Writing regularly breaks this pattern by allowing us to externalize our thoughts and get some distance from them.

In addition, a daily writing habit can be a great source of inspiration and creativity. Research shows that journaling regularly can boost the immune system, help injuries heal faster, reduce stress and anxiety, and provide so many more benefits.

Also, most successful and famous people, throughout the wheel of time, have one thing common – they all write daily or do some sort of journaling.

My main challenge will be to continue writing and not giving up on journaling after a few months or weeks. But I am serious about keeping it going and determined to stay on my path to daily journaling.

I hope to write and create more videos on How to Journal and its benefits. Here is the first video I already created: How to Start Journaling
