Journaling Techniques for a Better You
Jun 03, 2024
Looking for the best journaling technique you can utilize for a better you? There are so many great techniques you can focus on, and each has their own pros and cons.
The main thing to remember when searching for the best technique, is that what works for somebody else may not work for you. Experimenting with different techniques will help you to see which one works better. With that said, there are some journaling techniques known to be more effective for personal growth.
Here are a few of the best journaling topics and techniques to use for a better you.
Gratitude
Potentially the best technique you can use for personal growth, is gratitude journaling. This involves writing down the things that you are grateful for each day.
Studies have shown that keeping a daily gratitude journal can alter your mindset in just 21 days. It teaches you to be more positive about life and to be grateful for the things that you have.
It is common in life to only focus on the things we want and the things we don’t have. By switching to thinking about the positive things already in our lives, it helps to make us happier and content.
Dreams
A dream journal may sound like an odd tool to boost personal growth. However, studies have shown that keeping a dream journal can help to improve your mindset.
A clear link has been discovered between dreams and mental development. The emotions you experience in your dreams can relate to your mind’s ability to cope with and process information. It is thought that the skills we learn while we are awake, come out stronger in our dreams.
So, if you want to recognize emotions, traits, and fears that you may have, looking at your dreams can give you the clues you need to change. Start writing down your dreams as soon as you wake up. You can then go back over them later to see what they could mean.
Goals/Visions
Another popular journaling technique is to write about your goals and visions.
A goal setting journal is potentially one of the best ways to better yourself. You can use it to work on absolutely anything that you want to change. It could be you want to become more cultured by traveling more. Or maybe you want to lose weight and get generally healthier? Whatever part of yourself you are trying to improve; a goal or vision journal can prove invaluable.
With a goal journal, you basically write down your goals and then track your progress. With vision journals, you use them to write about your dream life. They also tend to be more visual. For example, you would add pictures of things you want to achieve in your dream life.
As you can see, there are a few different types of journaling you can utilize. The above are just three of the best techniques you can use to better yourself.
