Recently my friend started a new blog. She was telling me about it at lunch the other day. She also began sharing that she felt the Lord wanted her to begin journaling. I was thrilled, as I knew the positive changes journaling would bring to her life. As I began to share some of the great things that can happen in your life when you journal, she encouraged me to share my research in my blog.
In doing my research for my “Master Your Mind” books series, I discovered some amazing research results about the positive effects on your life when you journal regularly.
Journaling is one of the best way to hard wire your brain with the memories of the day
Remembering positive moments and your successes causes the same neurons in your brain that fired when it happened to fire again in the same way.
“Hebb’s Law”in Neuroscience tells us that, “Nerve cells that fire together wire together.”
By journaling your successes you double the positive effect of the success in your brain and in your life.
Various sciences have studied the benefits of journaling and there have been what I would call “fairly amazing” findings.
There are “Life Performance” benefits for those who journal. Journaling also benefits our physical health, neurological health, emotional and psychological health. Here are some of the numerous “Life Performance” benefits researchers found for people who regularly journal:
