Publishers Notes
Do you find that you often go through your
day without taking the time to review it as a whole, and so have little
connection or justification for your own decisions and direction in
life? If this sounds like experiences you have had, you are
not alone. The good news is there is a simple way to begin to work on
and improve these aspects of your life. The simple practice of keeping a
daily diary has been proven to provide an extensive mental health
benefit, especially as it relates to anxiety, stress, and dealing with
traumatic events. In addition to the positive effects keeping a journal
has on mental health, there is also research to suggest physical health
benefit to the practice as well, and writing for five minutes each day
is much easier to commit to than the gym. If you have ever wondered how
