Journaling seems stupid.

It's understandable to feel like journaling is a waste of time or even silly, but what if we change the narrative on what it means to journal? Instead of seeing it as a chore or a meaningless task, let's view it as a powerful tool for personal growth and development. At its core, journaling is a way to keep track of ourselves. It's a way to measure our progress and reflect on our thoughts and emotions. But in order to do this effectively, we need to make our progress measurable in the first place. This means setting clear goals for ourselves and tracking our progress towards those goals. When we journal, we're keeping an active log of our mental fitness. We're documenting our thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and using that information to gain insight into ourselves. This way, when it's time to reflect, we have something to look back on. We can see how far we've come, what we've learned, and what we still need to work on. But journaling isn't just about reflection and self-awareness. It's also a way to stay accountable to ourselves. When we write down our goals and track our progress, we're more likely to stay on track and achieve what we set out to do. We're holding ourselves accountable to the things that matter most to us. So the next time we find ourselves thinking that journaling is stupid or a waste of time, remember that it's a way to stay connected to ourselves and measure our progress. It's a tool for personal growth and development, and it can help us achieve our goals and live the life we want. As author and entrepreneur Jim Rohn once said, "A life worth living is a life worth recording." So let's start journaling and start living our best lives.
