Isn't keeping a journal old news? Who still does that? A lot of people. (Me included) My journal is mainly about my goals. It really helps me figure out what I want to do and accomplish. Sometimes, life just gets busy and we forget all the wonderful things that we would like to do. A journal is a great reminder. It is also a documentary of our lives throughout the years. It's nice to have something that you can look back on and see how you were then and how you are now. You're probably thinking to yourself,"That's what pictures are for right?" Pictures are for the physical, but your journal is what you were thinking mentally. You know how you look at a picture of yourself and you think,"What was I thinking at that moment?" If you keep a journal you can know what you were thinking at different times of your life.

It is also helpful with the thinking process. You can also keep a small notepad with you at all times if you don't want to forget an idea that you have. Many people do that all the time. That way you won't forget it no matter where you might be. Writing in a journal can also be a source of encouragement. A lot of times it's hard for us to paint a picture of what we need or like to do. Writing brings it to life for you. It is encouraging knowing that you can just write it down on paper. It is a way for us to overcome our fears. We have documented it now all is left to do is put it in action. Keeping a journal is also a stress reliever too. Whatever your feeling you can write those thoughts down. Even dissect why you might be feeling that way. You can also improve your writing skills too.

This is something that the whole family can participate in. Everyone can keep a journal. Lastly, but not least is it is fun! I look forward to what I will write down next. I can't wait to write down the things that I think about and aspire to do.
