The Power of Journaling

The Power of Journaling

Over recent years, there is no question that the masses of society are drawn to texting and typing rather than picking up a pen and putting it to paper. However, despite the rise of digital addiction, there is evidence proving that physically writing something down benefits the mind far more. Writing can take you on a journey of self-discovery and peace while also bettering mental health.


First things first, chose a diary you want to write in! We have a host of diaries and journals to suit all kinds of people. Whether you want something simple and elegant, or a diary packed full to the brim of stickers, glitter and colour. By putting pen to paper has proven to be much more therapeutic than staring at a screen, so close that laptop, lock that phone and jot down your thoughts.

The key is to start your journal by writing something positive, with all the hustle and bustle of life, it is easy to focus on the negative. However, your first entry could set the tone for the rest of your diary. Whether it's something nice that you or someone else did that day, something good that happened or something that you're grateful for, writing it down can give you something to smile about.
