Before you dismiss of journaling habit as something only the intelligent ones or the creative ones do, let me tell you something:
Journaling can be for everyone.
Great men like Benjamin Franklin, Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, Winston Churchill and many more, had journals.

So what is the relation between writing journals and becoming great?

It's not that simply writing in a journal can make you great. It is how you use it, makes the difference.

Here are 10 benefits of journaling that can help you improve your life. If you think you don't know what to write in a journal or don't know how to start, let me help.

**This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you make a purchase through my affiliate link**

1. journaling helps to Record daily insigh ts that touch you

As humans, we have an average of 60-65k thoughts per day. Among them, there might be some wonderful thoughts, ideas and life lessons that we learn from our experiences on a daily basis.

You can record them in your journal. We grow as a person when we learn from our lessons. Recording them on your journal helps you to remember them more.

Another benefit, journaling sometimes gives you interesting revelations about yourself which you wouldn't have normally thought about.

2. you can Write about your goals and measure progress

Instead of simply writing about your days, you can also use journaling to keep track of your life. It helps in planning your life as you want it to be.

You can have a goal tracker or a habit tracker drawn (or dedicate a separate section for it). And at the end of each day, evaluate how much you did accomplish.

As the saying goes,

What gets measured, gets done."

It helps in not losing focus on your goals and acts as a reminder of why you want to achieve a certain goal. When you write down your goals, you are committing yourself to do it. It reminds your brain that this is important for you and thus your brain causes you to notice more opportunities which help in achieving them.

Having a written plan in your journal will help you kick procrastination habit and bring more order in your life by getting things done.

3. you can Write about your desires

As humans, we all spend some time wishing about the future; the list of things we want to do or want to have.

It can be about ideas for expanding a business, the kind of body you want to have, the places you want to go, the activities you want to check off your bucket list, the new dish you want to make etc.

A journal is a great place to jot down all these. Research has proved that what we write down we retain more. Thus, there are more chances of taking action. And you definitely want to have those wonderful experiences, right?

4. Lessons from your past experiences

Don't let your past dictate who you are, but let it be part of who you will become.

Your journal is a little window to your past.

Looking back you have those memories to smile or cry or learn.

It also helps in analyzing your growth as a person. Like what made you upset years ago doesn't even have a place in your life right now or you realize you cried over trivial things. Such things make you realize how important it is to spend your time more wisely. And manage your emotions in a new light.

You can also write about daily events, not necessarily daily, but the memorable events of your day. The ones you would like to revisit later in life.

5. journaling helps to release pent-up emotions

Today we have all kinds of journals, planners and apps to help us do our tasks, but we are distracted more than ever because of the temptation to give in to the social media notifications. This virtual escape does not help in dealing with our thoughts and problems.

When we get overwhelmed due to our circling thoughts, we try to numb our minds by mindlessly scrolling on social media. It has become a new medium for relaxation.

But time spent on social media doesn't always relax our minds and give focus. It gives only a distraction.

We should rely on a medium that helps us channel our thoughts onto a focused solution. You can dump your thoughts in a journal, or you can just use it for brainstorming. It helps us to clear our minds, relax and take better decisions.

When my mind is overwhelmed with difficult emotions, I do freewriting in my journal (more on this in a minute). And I write about how to solve it, how I should approach this problem and how I should improve myself so that this doesn't occur again (being proactive). Trust me, it is super comforting. I learn about myself more on these journaling sessions and I get actionable tips for self-improvement.

It's like having a personal therapist.

6. a tool to Organize your thoughts

Another benefit I like about journal writing is, your life gets more organized. If your thoughts and to-do lists are scattered all over the place, you must try journaling. You can use any journal, what I use is a bullet journal. Starting a bullet journal has helped me immensely in having a system for my daily life.

You can create separate sections in your journal for each area of your life. Because to evolve as a person and be a better version of yourself, you need to grow in all aspects of life. A journal is a tool where you can plan to improve.

In my journal, I write about making improvements in career, relationships, parenting, spirituality, health, exercise etc.

I have goals for each part of my life. And it will blow me away if I were to keep all those aspirations in my mind. If it is in my journal, I know I am going to do something about it (and I do!)

You can even have different journals for different subjects but I recommend using one(or two) for everything as you can take it everywhere.

After a while, you will find that your journal turns out to be your constant companion who agrees to whatever you say, be with you in everything, gives you feedback and guards your secrets like a loyal friend.

7. you can Write about what you are grateful for in life

I cannot stress enough how important and powerful gratitude is. I first found out about it from Rhonda Byrne's famous book "The Secret" two years ago. There are people who scorn Law of Attraction. Even I don't believe in sitting at one place "wishing" for things to happen and hope that a magical genie would come to fulfill my desires. No! You have to move your butt and work for it. And then expect the results.

But feeling gratitude daily has changed my life. I used to be a pessimist and would spend my days thinking about 'lack of things'. The downside of it is, I failed to notice the good things happening in life. But when I started practicing gratitude, I found out I have more things to be happy of, than things to worry about.

Gratitude makes me ponder about the blessings I have and I never let my mind to drown in disappointing thoughts which drain the positive energy out of my day. Gratitude makes me see the good side of life, even in the most difficult circumstances.

It has really changed my life. I am happier, became more optimistic and I find more blessings come around.

For all those who want to know more about the power of gratitude, I highly recommend the book 'The Secret'.

8. journaling Increases self-discipline

Self-discipline is one quality you should develop if you want to succeed in life. Successful people have one quality: they do their tasks even if they want to or not.

We all have days on which we would like to stop the alarm, pull the covers and sleep more. But showing up daily, no matter what is what going to help you create the life you want.

If you plan your days in a journal, it can be your accountability partner. Checking off the items on your list the end of the day is so rewarding and encouraging.

One of the benefits of journaling is, you are creating a habit where you are expected to show up. And self-discipline is a muscle which grows as you flex it more and more.

9. journaling helps in healing your emotional wounds

Writing is therapeutic. It also helps you to tap into your intuitions to get answers.

It is an outlet to let flow even the most difficult and painful experiences or feelings, that you might not want to tell anyone. (Though I recommend getting an expert help if there is something you can't solve yourself). It helps in confronting the situation and finding a way out.

You get to listen to your thoughts and feelings and express them rather than creating a storm in your head going in circles.

It is powerful because when we let our feelings out, we get more emotional clarity.

10. journaling helps in problem-solving

Too often, we struggle to take action because of our fears and self-doubt.

In the primitive age, our body would produce fear to protect us from external danger ( like wild animals ). The truth is, still today, our brain triggers fear when we are about to step into the unknown. But we get engulfed in our fears without realizing there is no such potential danger.

Often we choose to stay in the safe zone, even if it doesn't give us the happiness we deserve. We choose unhappiness over uncertainty.

But, a journal could help you in fighting your fears . And control the fear which is affecting the quality of your life.

Tim Ferris, a bestselling author, and blogger teaches an exercise called "fear-setting", in his book Tools of Titans. He says fear setting helped him in overcoming difficult fears in life. Here is an article to learn more about fear-setting.

And also watch Tim's TED talk(2017) on it, here.

You need not do this exercise in a journal. You can do it on a piece of paper too. But, a journal is going to be with you always and you can always refer back to it when needed.

conclusion

You have 10 reasons to start journaling today. Grab a book and start writing. If you are still unsure about what to write, you can try freewriting in the beginning.

Freewriting means writing whatever comes to your mind for a set period of time, without regard to spelling or grammar.

Set a timer for 10-15 minutes. Write what you are thinking right now, even if it sounds stupid. Write even if you don't get anything to write. It can go like this.
I don't know what to write about. Nothing comes to my mind. Right now, I'm freewriting. I think this will help me in putting my thoughts on paper. I bought a journal. In it, I will write about .......
You see often it will give you ideas that you might not have got if you stayed in your mental chatter. Freewriting is usually used to warm up writing routine when you face writer's block. You don't worry about grammar, spelling, or any error here. Neither should you stop to read what you wrote. Do not lose contact of your pen with paper.

"The Hearse Song" is a song about burial and human decomposition, of unknown origin. It was popular as a World War I song, and was popular in the 20th century as an American and British children's song, continuing to the present. It has many variant titles, lyrics, and melodies,[1] but generally features the line "the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out", and thus is also known as "The Worms Crawl In". The earliest version of the verse is found in a poem by the English writer Matthew Lewis, incorporated in his popular 1796 Gothic novel The Monk,

I´d advise you to go to Paris but it´s important to know at least a bit of English or French so you can communicate there. I don´t think you should rent a car because you can move everywhere by bus and it´s cheaper. If I were you, the first place I´d go to is the Eiffel Tower, you can go to the inside but it´s also beautiful the outside. And you mustn´t miss it at night, there are lights that surround all of the tower and it´s amazing. If you like museums it´s a good idea to visit the Louvre Museum, and I suggest you to take the guided visit so you can learn about the history of it. There´s no point in staying at a fancy hotel, you won´t be there in all day and for less money there are quite nice apartments. It´s a good idea to visit the Versailles Palace, it has wonderful gardens and it is a good activity to do during the day. It´s worth spending some money at food, there are delicious restaurants at France, you´d better eat ice cream, pizza and pasta!

The place that I would recommend to spend the summer holidays is Puerto Madryn, Argentina. Puerto Madryn is a beautiful city in the coast of the Patagonia. The beaches are beautiful but it's important to always carry a ligh sweater because it can get very windy.
It's worth travelling a few miles to Peninsula Valdéz to see the elephant seals and the penguins at least once. It's a good idea to also travel to Punta Piramides, which is another beach nearby, to spend the day there.
The city is pretty but I'd say there's not point in seeing it all. It's also a good idea to visit the Ecocentro, a museum that is on a cliff, which exhibits Patagonia's nature and even has a lighthouse.
In Madryn, September to November is whale season, so you can book expeditions on boat that take you to see them.

I'd advice you to go to Chapadmalal. It's a place located between Mar Del Plata and Miramar. If I were you, i'd go to Cruz Del Sur's beach, it is a very big beach and you can also meet Flabio Mendoza from Los Auténticos Decadentes. It's really worth visiting Mar Del Plata's port during night and have dinner over there. I'd recommend going to ride horses near the supermarkets; it's a very exciting thing to do. And you mus't miss Circo Marisko's show in Miramar; you won't be able to stop laughing.

Look, I didn't want to be a half-blood. If you're reading this because you think you might be one, my advice is: close this book right now. Believe what-ever lie your mom or dad told you about your birth, and try to lead a normal life. Being a half-blood is dangerous. It's scary. Most of the time, it gets you killed in painful, nasty ways. If you're a normal kid, reading this because you think it's fiction, great. Read on. I envy you for being able to believe that none of this ever happened. But if you recognize yourself in these pages-if you feel something stirring inside-stop reading immediately. You might be one of us. And once you know that, it's only a mat-ter of time before they sense it too, and they'll come for you. Don't say I didn't warn you.

The fire grew massive in the Pit of Car as thousands of children from the Septemberlands were arranged around it in concentric circles. Rythe was situated in the second circle. She could feel the heat of the fire, growing ever taller as it consumed every book from the past three hundred years.
Hours passed as each child tossed a book into the Pit and left the Red Amphitheater, then forming several lines and exiting into the Chambers of Control, where each was joined by a Chaperone.
Rythe’s Chaperone was a Mechanical Imposter in the shape of an old, stern woman named I.27. Rythe thought about her mother and 8 brothers sadly, remembering all too vividly how they met their fate when trying to escape the New Government two weeks ago.
Rythe and about twenty other children were escorted into a room called the BOOK Center. The Chaperones began placing memory erasing Cards on the temples of all children. Rythe saw this and knew she must make her escape.
Rythe was only 14, but she was tough nonetheless. She had heard a fable in her earlier years told by the children at her school, when the New Government was gaining control. Apparently there was a code to deactivate their android creations. What was that rhyme they used to chant around the schoolyard?
Then Rythe remembered. She stood up and recited: “HOUSE, Mouse, 001, Cat, Hat, 001.”
Suddenly, all Chaperones dropped their Industries and stood up in unison, then left the room. Rythe knew they were heading back toward their docking stations. “It’ll buy us some time, but we must hurry,” she announced to her companions.
Discreetly, they snuck past the guards and exited the Government Running Building. They were free…for now.

The fire grew massive in the Pit of COFFEE as thousands of children from the Rachellands were arranged around it in concentric circles. Rythe was situated in the second circle. She could feel the heat of the fire, growing ever taller as it consumed every book from the past three hundred years.
Hours passed as each child tossed a book into the Pit and left the Old Amphitheater, then forming several lines and exiting into the Chambers of Control, where each was joined by a Chaperone.
Rythe’s Chaperone was a Mechanical Imposter in the shape of an old, stern woman named I.27. Rythe thought about her mother and 13 brothers sadly, remembering all too vividly how they met their fate when trying to escape the New Government two weeks ago.
Rythe and about twenty other children were escorted into a room called the BOOK Center. The Chaperones began placing memory erasing Spoons on the temples of all children. Rythe saw this and knew she must make her escape.
Rythe was only 27, but she was tough nonetheless. She had heard a fable in her earlier years told by the children at her school, when the New Government was gaining control. Apparently there was a code to deactivate their android creations. What was that rhyme they used to chant around the schoolyard?
Then Rythe remembered. She stood up and recited: “Honey, Money, 001, Dress, Chess, 001.”
Suddenly, all Chaperones dropped their Computers and stood up in unison, then left the room. Rythe knew they were heading back toward their docking stations. “It’ll buy us some time, but we must hurry,” she announced to her companions.
Discreetly, they snuck past the guards and exited the Government Crying Building. They were free…for now.

Chocolate

Ponyboy is frequently seen eating candy bars, and there's really nothing very symbolic about a kid eating candy. But, when we add chocolate cake for breakfast into the mix, the treat does take on a bittersweet symbolism. When Pony is describing his breakfast-making activities on the morning after his return from Jay Mountain, he tells us,

All three of us like chocolate cake for breakfast. Mom had never allowed it with ham and eggs, but Darry let Soda talk him into it. We really didn't have to twist his arm; Darry loves chocolate cake as much as we do. (7.23)

So, in some ways, chocolate, specifically chocolate cake, becomes a symbol of the Curtis boys' loss of their parents. What kid hasn't thought something like, "if Mom and Dad weren't around, I'd eat chocolate cake for breakfast everyday!"? Well, if it meant the loss of Mom and Dad, chocolate cake for breakfast wouldn't be such a great thing, would it? Pony makes sure we understand that Darry only lets them eat the cake with the more nutritious ham and eggs, and that Darry provides nutritious balanced meals. The cake symbolizes their loss, but also Darry's desire to give his brothers something, anything to take away some of the sting from their loss. The brothers reach for sweetness in an increasingly bitter time in their lives.
