Improve Your Life with Journaling

During any type of life reset, journaling is one of the most important and effective things 
you can do. It allows you to get all of those thoughts and ideas out of your head, helps 
you find clarity in a moment of confusion, and sheds light on why you feel the way you 
do.

Here are some things to know about improving your life with journaling.


Why Journaling is So Essential to a Reset

The reason you want to use a journal during any type of life or health reset is because it 
becomes your safe haven. The place where your thoughts and feelings and goals and 
plans live. A secret thing that is only between you and your journal.

Many people prefer writing in a journal as opposed to talking with people because they 
won’t be judged or fear criticism. For a reset, you are going to go through everything in 
your life, figure out what is working and what isn’t, dig deep into what you want out of 
life and find clarity, so it really is one of the best tools you can use.


What to Write About in Your Journal

When it comes to what to write in your journal, it is going to depend on what your goals 
are with this reset. If this is just a health reset, then you might write down what you eat 
each day, details on a diet you plan to do, keeping track of your workouts, and writing 
down triggers for your mental health.

However, if you are doing more of a life reset, include journal entries about how you are 
feeling, your goals, working out what is bothering you, trying to get to the bottom of your 
issues with productivity, tracking your home organization, and anything else you plan to 
work on. 


The Importance of a Routine

Creating a journaling routine is going to help you move forward, make changes, and 
stick to them. Using your journal once and never again is probably not going to help you 
much. Think of a time of day when you have at least 10-15 minutes of quiet, alone time 
to write in your journal. Use this as part of your daily routine, whether it is shortly before 
bed or when you wake up in the morning and have your coffee. 

You can also bring your journal with you to use in your car while waiting for your kids to 
get out of school, or during your lunch break at work.
