Journaling is one of the most effective ways you can use to work through your ideas.
Many people journal each day. Some do it in writing and others draw images. A lot of people do both because their creativity has many outlets.
If you have dreads or if you are thinking of getting them, a journal will help you fully understand your own motives.
Get a journal and write daily
A journal can be any kind of note book or pad. It can be a beautiful, leather-bound document or just a few scraps of paper held together with a paperclip. You could voice record on your phone or type on your laptop – it doesn’t matter.
What does matter is the process of writing.
When we are stressed we find that we tend to bottle things up and become more frustrated, but keeping a journal will free your mind from these frustrations.
How Can a Journal Help Me?
You can express your thoughts, your hopes, your disappointments, and even your anger in a journal safety.
This is because no one but you will see it. A journal should be completely private.
You can share it with someone if you wish, of course, but keeping it private allows you to explore ideas and vent if needs be.
Journaling About Dreads
When you have dreads it is well worth keeping a record about your progress.
You can also record any challenges you faced and how you dealt with them.
What if someone was rude to you? Recording the event on paper will allow you to look at the situation from a better perspective.
This allows your mind to be free of the worry, and find time to work on what you should and shouldn’t have done.
