No matter why we journal, there are many benefits to journaling.
Writing helps us work through challenges and gather our thoughts. Even the simple act of writing with our hands (often forgotten in our busy electronic world) can be beneficial for all of us—no matter our age. Hand-eye coordination, muscle memory, posture, body control, letter formation—all are skills we use when we write by hand.
Whether we are digging deep in our feelings, recording memories, or organizing scattered ideas, journaling is a snapshot moment in time. When we write our thoughts in a journal, we have a tangible memory book to revisit and read later or even pass down for others to read. These full-color lined journals are filled with inspiring art, graphics, and words that provide a fun backdrop to work through something that’s been on our minds, to get creative, organized, or inspired, to make lists, or just to tell our own story.
