Benefits of Keeping a Journal

The almighty Pen and Paper

All kinds of life pressure are things that everyone will face many times in life. However, having a quiet and tidy private living space, combined with the habit of writing a diary, can help you quickly restore your peace of mind. In a personal “sanctuary” where you can feel safe, comfortable, and at peace, journaling can help you channel your emotions so they don’t linger inside. In the process, you might even become aware of something inside you that you didn’t know existed about yourself.

When your living space is cluttered, it can be difficult to concentrate on journaling because the messiness can disrupt your thought process, as we mentioned in our previous post. So, if you have room to spare, consider creating a separate journaling room in your home. The room should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. If you don’t have extra space, it’s important to declutter your existing space to make room for new ones. In the previous article, we mentioned the concept of using rearrangement to open up new space. Keeping this space organized and uncluttered will also help you feel more focused and productive while journaling.

Incorporating journal writing into your routine can also help you create a sense of order and purpose in your life. Setting aside some specific time each day to write, even if it’s just for a few minutes, is sure to add a little more meaning to your life. This will also help you deal with the daily turmoil and make it part of your daily self-care routine. Just imagine, today when keyboards and smartphones have become extensions of our fingers, we have gradually lost the ability to connect with the once omnipotent pen and paper. We believe that coming back to use these simple stationeries to write and jot down our daily moments has an energy and resonance that cannot be fully reproduced from electronic devices.

By creating a restful and organized living space and incorporating journaling into your routine, you can build a healthy and meaningful living practice. Daily hiccups are typically inevitable, but recovering from the end of each event, no matter how big or small, important or trivial, is an important part of anyone’s life practice. Best of all, it’s easy because you can start trying it today. With some time and patience to cultivate this new routine, we believe that your daily life will have a positive change. And remember, a well-organized room and desk, along with pens or pencils and notepads, are your most loyal companions on the road of life.
