Why should you write a journal?
-
To improve self-esteem. Journaling helps you notice the value of your life.
-
To remember your life. So much is lost otherwise.
-
For future generations. They want to know you. They can learn from your experiences.
-
To discover. Sometimes you don't know your own thoughts and feelings until you get them out on paper.
-
To let go. Oftentimes thoughts plague you until you let them go in a journal.
Here are 17 ways you can do just that without insane amounts of writing (but with insane amounts of fun).
