How Journaling Will Change Your Life
For over a decade, I have been preaching the power of journaling. I believe that taking only a few minutes to write down your thoughts can be life-changing. More and more studies are showing that journaling lowers anxiety, stress, and induces better sleep - but did you know it could even boost immune function in patients battling illness? The benefits of writing your thoughts down in a journal are well-documented, but for some people, journaling can seem like an inconvenient chore. I mean, who wants to spend an hour everyday, pen to page? Well that’s where you're wrong - just one - three minutes of journaling a day can make a huge difference. If you read my first book, Train Your Head & Your Body Will Follow, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you didn't pick up your copy yet, this article is a great place to start. Plus, I am so freaking excited about my brand new guided journal: My 30-Day Reset Journal. It’s the perfect partner to break into your journaling journey!
