Seven Reasons Why I Journal

Published by Ben Brown on

WHY?

To Be Grateful
1. I have a gratitude question in my journal template.
2. It gives me a chance to review my life and see what I feel grateful for.
To Remember the Important Lessons
1. I write down what I have experienced and what I am learning from it (also in journal template).
2. If something keeps coming up then it gives me a reason to look deeper and what to work on or get help with.
To Look for What I Want to Grow
1. I was given some challenging questions by a friend, I modified them a bit, but the essence is the same, how could I have shown up even better…
2. When I ask this question, I have to dig a bit, but I always see a way that I can grow tomorrow.
To Get Better at Writing
1. Anything you want to get better at you have to do.
2. Journal writing gives me a great way to write regularly.
To Be a Better Planner
1. I will often have a little reflective time to think about what is really important to me
2. I can put this in my journal with a few action items.
3. For Next Year
For My Daughter
1. It helps me to be a better dad now (by reflecting and growing)
2. I also have something that I can give her later
To keep parts of myself alive that may not be able to be expressed right now. (Survival skill)
