Why Journaling for 30 Days Was a Rollercoaster Ride

The Myth of Journaling

Hey there, wonderful readers! Have you ever heard people raving about the life-changing benefits of journaling? I’ve been curious about it for years. So, I decided to give it a shot for 30 days straight. But let me tell you, I had my doubts. I thought it was all nonsense at first… until it wasn’t. There are so many ways to journal – dream journal, food journal, workout journal, bullet journal…you name it. The common theme? Tracking your progress. That’s key to seeing growth and clarity where it’s hard to notice day by day.

The Journaling Challenge Begins

So, armed with a compact journal from Baron Fig, I embarked on my 30-day journaling journey. I wanted something small to jot down my thoughts without feeling pressured to fill up endless pages. The goal? To write freely for just 10 minutes a day. Simple, right? Well, kind of.

Ups and Downs of Journaling

As I poured my thoughts onto the pages each day, I soon realized that journaling wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. It felt more like an obligation than a joy. I struggled to make time for it, pushing it to the last minute before bed. But amidst the monotony, I found a silver lining. It helped me conquer my perfectionism by letting my thoughts flow without the chance to edit. Talk about a breakthrough!

The Moment of Truth

Just when I thought everything was smooth sailing, anxiety hit me like a ton of bricks. Journaling became my lifeline during this rough patch, helping me confront and accept my inner turmoil. Through the lows and highs, it provided the clarity I needed to overcome my struggles.

Final Verdict: Worth a Try

So, after 30 days of journaling, would I recommend it? Absolutely. While it might not be a daily ritual for me, it’s a valuable tool for navigating rough waters. I may revisit it in the future when life throws curveballs. How about you? Do you journal? Share your experiences in the comments below! Until next time, stay positive and keep journaling!
