Who knew creativity and structure could sit alongside each other in a sentence, let alone your life!
Writing a journal or keeping a diary allows you to unleash your creative side but also keep life balanced with organisation and structure. Believe it or not, everyone is capable of being creative however, some people struggle to express that side of themselves. Owning a journal is the best place to start! It's a safe place for brainstorming and no amount of words are too big or too small. A paragraph, a page, even three pages. There are no rules. It lets you have free expression without the fear of judgement, so let your imagination run wild.
Not only are they a place of creativity, but they assist in organising your thoughts and ideas. Studies show that journaling is therapeutic to our minds and slows down our thinking to understand what we are handwriting, (Bianchi. N,2022). The creative side of a journal lets you be excited for ideas, dreams, passions or anything happening in your life. A journal is anything you want it to be. It also reminds us of things we don't like and awakens our thoughts to provide clarity. Our own creative writing can give us inspiration or provide a much needed pep talk when we are down. It gives us time to reflect on old feelings and emotions and to physically see growth in ourselves and our writing. Keeping a journal creates a platform for us to be self aware and maintain an honest relationship with ourselves whilst providing a creative avenue for our minds.
