The Chronicles of my journaling ....

I was perplexed by the buzz surrounding journaling. I've seen several YouTubers and some personality development gurus talk about morning journaling. I witnessed many say it had a positive impact on their lives. It helped them in building confidence. I'm not lying; I tried it for a while and noticed no significant changes in my life. Although I adore writing, "morning journaling" is not my cup of tea. To me, journaling is noting down the daily highlights, and affirmations and is more like talking to oneself. It took me some time to realize that there are no rules in making a good journal and you are not writing it for someone to read. 

I started journaling without knowing it is called "journaling". I don't like to scold people immediately when I am super angry, because sometimes it can be pointless with full of emotions. That doesn't mean I don't yell at people but it's just a way to control it. I'm not sure how I got into that habit; I've been writing for a long time. I've never seen or heard someone advocate writing, but when I do it, I feel wonderful and am less frustrated. Let me put down some of the advantages of this habit that I felt in the form of points:

1. You won't hurt people with words you say in anger.

2. You can understand the mistake and its circumstances.

3. It assists you in arriving at a solution rather than dwelling on an issue.

4. Gives you time to empathize with others.

5. Most importantly it helps to calm down.

One dread that has lingered in my thoughts is that someone would read my journal. Do any of you recall the CID show? In some episodes, the dead keep a diary of their everyday activities, which the cops read for proof. Yeah, I empathised a little too much, and there's a little too much drama...Back to the point.

Don't you think "journaling" sound so fancy? 

Today I happened to look back at what I wrote when I was angry, I was laughing when I am reading all those frustrating lines and scolding. Don't mind if I scold someone...and that someone might be you, they are just a way of emitting anger. Why hurt someone with words we don't mean? Why always need someone to listen to our drama? Be there for yourself...love yourself...💙💙 

If at all you try journaling after reading my post, comment on it or text me in person, I would love to listen to your story.
