The beauty of journaling is that there is no right or wrong way to do it and you can make it your own. While journaling frequently will help you create a habit (more on this below), writing whenever you feel the need to is also beneficial.
Why keep a journal?
Determining your purpose for keeping a journal will help you stay focused, create a routine, and most importantly, enjoy the process. Journaling can be used for organizing your thoughts, improving your mental health, or making your bedtime phone free. One of the main reasons I keep a journal is for my future self to look back on. I enjoy reading old entries from over the years to see how much I and my life have changed. While a picture is worth a thousand words, there’s no better way to preserve memories than journaling.
