The Benefits of Keeping a Journal

Personal Journal

Life coaches, mental health professionals and holistic practitioners often agree about the therapeutic benefits of keeping a journal. Whether you use the old-fashioned pen and paper or post weblogs to record your thoughts, journaling provides a means to discover who you are and can help with making decisions. Reviewing journal entries from the past often provides insights into behavior patterns and allows us to see our growth and maturity.

The biggest complaint about journaling is the time it takes, but once it becomes a habit, people very often realize tangible benefits associated with the practice. Some of the benefits of journaling include:

  • Stress reduction - You can't always yell at your boss, but you can write down what you would like to say! This helps relieve the internal pressure from the anger you might be feeling.

  • Organization - Journaling helps you organize your thoughts and your life with to-do lists, goals or dreams.

  • Provides a life history - Journaling helps to preserve snippets of your life and provides a record of your thoughts and memories for those who come after you.

  • Aids in decision-making - Often when you face a tough decision, it helps to write about the pros and cons of one option over another.

  • Facilitates self-discovery - Writing in a journal allows you to be who you are, in a non-structured creative forum.

Some people like to try writing at different times of the day. Others like the routine of writing every night to review the day's events or every morning to plan the day. It's up to you. After all, it's all about your self-expression!

What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Cullman folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
Which organs are extra?
You don't have any spare parts. Sure, we can survive without our tonsils, appendix, gall bladder and several other tissues, but each serves a purpose. We chiropractors recognize this. So the chiropractic approach I use in Cullman is to reduce nerve interferences to the control and regulation of every tissue, organ and system of your body.
