Journaling allows you to HEAR your inner thoughts through words.  You may have words that are stuck behind feelings, and you can’t access them.  You are in your own way. Allowing yourself to SEE your feelings by writing them down will allow you to begin to deal with them.

20 MINS of JOURNALING a day will allow you to express yourself freely, uninterrupted, on paper.  Hopefully, this journey of self-discovery also adds some joy to your day!  To read more about the connection between journaling and mental health, click here
