Journaling can be a useful tool to increase self-awareness. It helps to externalise our thoughts; to put them down on paper so they are not swimming around in our head. We can then see externally what we are experiencing internally, as we put in writing what’s in our minds and hearts. This helps us organise and make sense of our inner world and awakens us to insights and perspectives. Journaling gives us precious self-reflective time and a protected space to connect the dots. It encourages our freedom of expression, awakens our creativity, de-fogs our inner vision, and helps us create the future self we want to step into. Enjoy your journaling!
