Turn action into habits
I understand how hard it is to make writing in your personal journal part of your everyday routine. It takes time and dedication to turn action into habits , but once you do, journaling is much easier.
That's why I developed this guide to updating your writing journal every day. It may seem like a minor part of your day, but journaling is more beneficial than you might realize.

Benefits
Journaling has several benefits for your overall health. Particularly your emotional health.
It's relaxing and helps you better understand your thoughts. Sometimes our minds are going a mile a minute, especially during periods of high stress. Putting those thoughts and emotions down on paper makes them more manageable.
Your personal journal is a permanent record of your thoughts. It can records the events in your life.

What to write
Share the first thought that comes to mind. The first thing you think about is typically what's most important to you at that moment.
Of course, if you have something in particular that's been bothering you, use your journal as an opportunity to explore the topic from multiple angles.
Writing about a problem can often help you see it from a different perspective. You may see a situation from someone else's viewpoint, or writing about an issue could help you realize that it's actually not such a big deal after all.

Avoid censoring yourself
So why would you censor what you write in your journal? This is one of the reasons why it's good to avoid sharing your journal with anyone. When you know your journal is for your eyes only, you have the freedom to write whatever you want without worrying about anyone else's thoughts or judgments.

Start one habit at the time
When you start your journaling habit, make that your main priority, commit to it for at least 30 days, and, to get the best results, tie it to another pre-existing habit of yours. For example, if you start your day with a cup of coffee, you could decide to journal every morning while you drink your coffee.
