· Journaling
is considered one of the most effective coping skills available; it can provide
you with a profound inner vision and enhances your self-awareness process.
· Journaling
can improve creativity and intuition through the utilization of specific
exercises using color, images, and symbols, in addition to writing
introspective thoughts, and assist in dealing with creative blocks and negative patterns, as
well as finding meaning in life.
· Dr.
James Pennebaker, a researcher in Texas, was the first to conduct clinical
studies that showed that when people wrote about emotionally difficult events
or feelings for just 20 minutes at a time over 4 day period, their immune
system function improved. His studies are considered some of the most dependable
data related to journal writing as a tool for stress reduction, healing,
recovery and simply becoming happier.
· After
the Pennebaker studies were published, the therapeutic community began to take
journal writing more seriously as a holistic, non-medical means for wellness,
stress management and improving self-awareness.
