“So why should one journal?”
I’ve heard this question countless times, often followed by — “It’s too much effort… and what would I even write about? My day is the same routine!”
I used to feel the same way. Until I realized something: it’s inside that very routine that most of our answers actually lie.
Think about it — your habits tell you what you’re naturally drawn to, what lights you up, and what drains you. Journaling simply makes you notice those patterns. It’s like a slow, steady strength that creeps in while you’re busy searching for answers.
And I’ll be honest — I hated journaling for the longest time. But I kept hearing how much lighter, calmer, and more grounded people felt because of it. So I told myself: 6 months. I’ll try it. Not every single day, but as often as I can.
