STRICTLY EMBAROGED: Three reasons why everyone should journal (from journaling expert Lili Sinclair-Williams)

***STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL THURSDAY 7TH NOVEMBER

Three reasons why everyone should journal

Journaling expert and founder of wellbeing stationery brand LSW London, Lili Sinclair-Williams, gives three reasons why everyone should journal.

Journaling will help you to identify issues

Regular reviews over your entries will help you to pinpoint any behavioural patterns that might not be serving you. It’s almost impossible to remember how you were feeling at specific times and specific days gone by - so keeping track of that in a journal will help you make note of what does and what does not make you feel good.

Journaling will help you to track your growth

Alongside identifying issues, journaling will help you to track your progress and growth. It is important to celebrate your wins in life and to feel good when you have achieved stages of growth, both mentally and in life. Celebrating feels good, do more of it!

Journaling can reduce stress and anxiety

Negative thoughts can often spiral when giving time to loop and develop internally. Journaling gives you the opportunity to pull those stresses and anxieties from your mind and onto paper. This relief can often help you make better sense of negative thoughts and work through them in order to come up with solutions.

Lili Sinclair-Williams, Founder of LSW London, said:

"Journaling is an incredibly powerful and accessible tool that can be fitted into even the busiest of daily schedules. A beneficial journaling habit can take just a few minutes of your day while still having profound effects. 

"Keeping your journaling structured by using prompted journals can help to keep your writing purposeful and helpful. Journaling does not need to be perfect. It is about finding the style that suits you and sticking to it. One of the most important parts of the process is the weekly and monthly reviews. Each week, check back over your entries and identify any patterns that arise (good and bad) in order to make any relevant changes in your life."
