I view journaling as a necessary step to get to the good stuff. I empty my head, and now there's room for creativity to happen. I appreciate your insight, Cal.
I like this article because it reminds me of the same benefits that are derived from therapy.People often say to me "What good is therapy.A therapist can't fix these terrible problems that I have." But an amazing thing happens when you get those thoughts out if the horrible feedback loop of your brain. Alright I'm back to Journaling-with less guilt.
Great article, Cal! I really enjoyed your detailed breakdown of all the benefits of journaling. Your advice about not turning it into a strict routine is spot-on, in my experience. I've been journaling since I was a teenager and I believe the only reason I've been doing it for so long is because I'm using it in the way you describe (like a tool, not a routine).

It’s a great outlet for you to share what is stressing you and you can also write what you want with no filter because who will see it? Great points.
