Why Journal...
understanding the purpose of life!
Experts estimate that the mind thinks between 60,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day. That's an average of 2,500 – 3,300 thoughts per hour. You may wonder, what do we do with all those thoughts, and where do we keep them?
Would you be surprised to know that we keep a lot of things in our heads, but we put less down on paper. All those thoughts and ideas bouncing around can sometimes feel overwhelming. You have to-do lists, hopes, dreams, secrets, failures, love, loss, ups and downs. Ideas come and go, feelings pass. How do you remember all of them? How do you keep them organized? A great way to keep your thoughts organized and to clear your mind is to write them down in a journal.
Writing is a great exercise for anyone and by expressing yourself in a personal place is a wonderful way to stay sane.
