Have you thought about journaling but didn’t know where to start? Do you think writing about your feelings would be a waste of time? If so, you’re not alone.

I hear many therapy clients say they’ve considered journaling over the years but for one reason or another, they just didn’t start it. Or, if they did start journaling,they didn’t stick with it.

But, don’t give up on the idea of journaling. There’s tons of evidence that writing in a journal can be good for your emotional well-being.

Not alljournalingis created equal, however. There are a few things you can do to make it especially helpful in building mental strength.

In today’s episode, I share what the research says about the benefits of journaling, how to use journaling to build mental strength and the one thing you should avoid doing when you write in a journal.
