Benefits of Journalling for Adults

Hello, I'm a newbie in Lemon8. Today, I wanna share some pages from my journal, and why you should start doing it too.

I can't speak on behalf of everyone, but for me:

1- Journalling allows me to save all the events/moments wants to go back to and revisit. Whether its a happy or sad ones.

2- Its a method to keep me focusing on my goals and tasks. I used to be a messy person, (please don't judged me😭) my room used to be closer to a dump because i have a bad habit of snacking and not tidying up my room. In other word, MALAS. But as i started doing journal, it's constantly reminds me of what i should do and keeping me on track to achieve my goals (losing weight, saving money etc)

3-Its a self- therapy. It helps me destress from work, people or anything that upset me. I just write, sometimes I cry doing it, I feel so much better afterward.❤️‍🩹

4- It builds up creativity over times, its a good way to practice your drawing skills, painting etc. I used stickers most of the time, but i think its a skill too to assemble them using different materials!😤

5-Tracking down your passion( like book reviews, quotes, movies), moods in a month (i use colour coding for every emotion), period tracker, progress of changing habit (getting healthier) and many more.

I'm well aware there are convenient methods to do all the things above by using apps, but I preferred traditional one, using a book. It helps in digital detox, which I think it's a good way for my mental health.

Hopefully this encourage you own a journal. Please share some of your amazing enteries in Lemon8💖

Sincerely,

Hara
