Day 9 -  Use the Journal Daily

Hi {!firstname_fix}

We are now nearing the end of this email series about using your journal to help with 
mental health. On day 9, it is all about when and how to use your journal. It is really 
important to write in your journal every day, even multiple days if you can. Here is why 
we like to stress this so much:

Getting daily practice – First of all, writing in your journal every day is going to get you 
into the practice of journaling, In the beginning, you might not write much, but you will 
get used to it over time. Soon, you will be looking forward to journaling and will 
experience its full effects.

Quiet time to yourself – Many people enjoy journaling because it gives them a few 
minutes every day where they are alone in their own thoughts. This is good for general 
mental health, whether you have stress or a specific disorder like post-traumatic stress 
disorder or clinical depression. Take these few minutes a day to just be alone and 
journal about anything and everything you need to.

Easy distraction – Journaling daily provides a good distraction when you need it the 
most, from helping with panic attacks to keeping your mind occupied when you are 
worried or stressed about something.

Solutions and resolutions – A more surprising benefit to journaling every single day is 
that you notice patterns, and also come up with solutions to things that have been 
causing you stress or panic.
