Journaling is one of the most powerful instruments for mental, emotional and spiritual growth. It is not simply a practice of writing down your thoughts and feelings but a tool to gain more self awareness, understanding and compassion. The more self aware, we become, the more grounded and balanced we feel to meet life's challenges and strive to reach our highest potential. Maintaining a spiritual diary can be a valuable aid to focus on and improve our strengths, removing detrimental habits by understanding our thoughts, feelings and patterns better. Benefits of Spiritual Journaling: 1) Improves Emotional Intelligence - Ability to perceive and understand your own emotions and others emotions. 2) Soothes Anxiety - Promotes a sense of calmness, wellbeing and being centered. 3) Manage Stress - Helps you deal with stress and intrusive thoughts more effectively. 4) Improves focus - Promotes mental clarity, problem solving and decision making skills.
