How does journaling help with self-reflection?

Did you know that writing in a journal by hand can actually rewire your brain? 

Journaling is more than just putting your thoughts and emotions on paper. 

It can transform your inner awareness into actionable steps towards your goals.

But how does this happen? 

When you write in your journal, your brain goes through a complex process of composing and synthesizing ideas, words, and visualizations. 

This process signals to your brain that what you're doing is important, and it responds by coming up with solutions, ideas, options, and ways to achieve what you're focusing on during journaling.

As a result, your body prepares to act and make changes. 

The good news is that you don't need to spend hours journaling to experience these benefits. Even just 5-10 minutes a day can make a difference. 

Here is how to put this into practice…
