Plot Twist Dairies

Journaling every day is a great habit to get into. Of course, any time you can carve out for effective journaling is time well spent, but the best practice is a regular, daily journaling session.

What is so great about journaling every day?

There are a lot of benefits to keeping a regular journaling practice, including

1. It promotes and enhances your creativity in a way that once-in-a-while journaling simply can’t match;
2. It propels you toward your goals, helping you bring your vision to life;
3. It offers you a daily opportunity to recover from the daily stressors and leave the unimportant stuff behind;
4. It can help you identify things that would otherwise go unnoticed, such as patterns in your thinking, the influences behind your feelings and behavior, and any incongruencies in your life;
5. It gives you a chance to get all of your emotions out on paper, reducing your stress and releasing tension;
6. It facilitates learning by creating a record of the lessons and key ideas you have discovered and helps you remember them more effectively;
7. It boosts your overall sense of gratitude and your sensitivity to all that you have to be grateful for;
8. It makes you a better writer and helps you discover your “voice;”
9. It leaves a written record of your experiences, which can be helpful today and extremely precious years into the future (Hardy, 2017).

Here are seven ideas you can use when you simply have no idea what you want to write about:

1. Describing Experiences!
2. Affirmations!
3. Gratitude!
4. Critical Self-Analysis!
5. Mining for Anxiety!
6. Performance Analysis!
7. Just Because!
