journal entries are physical reminders of how far you've come, which is often forgotten/overlooked

they really do make your tough days a little bit better

in my entries, most account of events were documented with heightened emotions.

they say "don't trust your emotions", but to me, those are almost accurate indicators of something buried, unseen.

by writing down those thoughts weaved with intense feelings, i have a guilt free outlet (as supposed to another human) to release my pent up frustration, and leave a trace for myself to analyze later (if i feel the need to).

anyways, I've linked a journal template I made here if you're interested in purchasing :)

i'm kidding lol, just pick up a pen and let your stream of consciousness go wild.

when you're journaling, you're connecting the dots between your past, present, and future self. it's so easy to get caught up with everything around us and lose that sense of centerness, and by having a point of reference, it's a bit easier to find your way back

there are so many different techniques out there (morning pages, future self journaling, etc), but whatever helps you process in the most effortless way works best and helps you stay consistent.
