[Alamson]

Writing down your thoughts and experiences regularly can go a long way in enhancing mental health. You become less stressed when you express your emotions or feelings either orally or in writing. Bottling up emotions for too long can lead to implosion which may have irreversible consequences. How does journaling improve mental health?

For me l had discovered that l have the habit of writing down almost everything that l am supposed to do together with the past experience of events. Whenever l go through them l mostly get relieved for that matter.

I started writing journal when I was 14. It started as a way to record my daily events, then soon it became my refuge to have my thoughts in black and white. I wrote diary until I was 21. I have 6 big volumes. But later I burned them all, the thing that I regret until today

Sorry, but know. Sometimes very wild thoughts creep in my mind, if I write them down and someone sees it, I will have a lot of explanation to do
This is one of the reasons I don't have a diary, can't risk someone else getting their hands on it.

Journaling has changed the game for many people’s mental health. Whenever I write my thoughts and feelings down on paper, I can easily process and let go in a healthy way. It blows my mind how much clarity and a different perspective I can create by putting my experiences and emotions into words.

I do this somewhat but in blogging form. Blogging has always been a great way for me to defeat stress.

Back when I was working a job I hated, I'd blog anywhere from 10K to 30K word blog posts daily!

People can express their feelings, be it in writing or through speech. Bottled emotions can destroy individuals, and journaling offers a completely safe and private venue for it. I must admit that journaling allows for the control of troubling emotions such as anxiety and sadness for a more positive view of life.
