Journaling is a way of recording your thoughts, feelings, habits, and gaining insights for your personal development. Is Journaling good for mental health? Yes, I chose to journal for my mental health, exploring the difficult feelings I had,since I became chronically ill. So I wrote the Journey To Balance Journal as the mental health benefits of journaling can be powerful, helping you process stress, trauma, and difficult emotions. Journaling in this self-awareness book is a simple and accessible practice tailored to meet your unique needs and preferences.
Pushing down our feelings leads to explosive interactions as, just like the weather, we have no control over how it affects our daily lives. My emotional responses as a highly sensitive person or Empath meant I needed to set boundaries with myself and others. This allowed me to have emotional vulnerability, on the path to understanding my emotions. I developed a plan for coping with my responses to big feelings, whether this was negative or positive.
On my self discovery journey, I’ve listened to 2 insanely good self awareness books that have helped me understand my feelings better. Being self aware is a big part of understanding who we think we are, rather than being truly self aware. Braving The Wilderness by Brené Brown on courage in finding where you belong and Becoming By Michelle Obama, a reflective memoir.
I believe that we need to build the foundations of our well-being and part of that is having tools for personal development. We have to open ourselves to a mindset for change and develop these seven skills to live a fulfilling life; positive thinking, setting boundaries, healthy relationships, managing stress levels, being self aware, drive for learning and emotional resilience. This gives us hope so we can keep see our hopes and dreams.
