Why Journal Writing

Writing in a journal reminds you of your goals and of your learning in life. It offers a place where you can hold a deliberate, thoughtful conversation with yourself. –Robin S. Sharma

Journaling gets it out of you and on to paper; it is a catharsis. It helps you to understand, unload and heal. And what is amazing about it, if you go back to something you’d written a year ago—be it fear, struggles, something you couldn’t get past—when I went back and looked through all the things I thought were huge for me to get past, being able to read [about them] inspires me. It encourages me that everything is OK; this too shall pass.  –Tyler Perry 

There are certain things that make me relax, like writing my journal. That's the only time that I'm relaxing. It's the only time I really get to examine myself. –Jessica Simpson

My own habit had always been to write about the things that ticked me off in a given day. If I kept a journal at all, I kept it to vent. –Ariel Gore
