Why should you journal daily?

This is one habit with many benefits.

1. It reduces stress. Stress destroys you. Journaling for 15 - 20 min daily for 3 - 5 times a week :

   1. Reduced blood pressure.

   2. Improved lung function.

   3. Reduced depressive symptoms.

2. It improves immunity (same study as above).

3. It improves memory (same study as above)..

4. It boosts your mood.

With this many benefits, starting today is a no brainer!

How you can start this awesome habit today

Studies show that writing with pen and paper is better than using a digital tool.

1. Start small and keep it simple. My weapons of choice:

• Fountain pens. I own a Lamy Safari, Pilot metropolitan and a HongDian forest. All my inks are from Noodlers.

• A diary.

2. Use implementation intentions to set up this system. It’s super simple and will become an automatic habit over time.

3. Just get started and go with the flow. You can adjust and change things later.

I write in the morning and before bedtime.

Because you guys rule, here is my actual (messy, slightly blurred ) book and pens.

Bonus free template!!!

Because you guys are awesome, I created a bonus template for you. Psst - this is what I follow daily.
