Studies have found that, when people write about their deepest thoughts and feelings in a journal, it can result in fewer doctor visits, fewer depressive symptoms, and enhanced immune system functioning. And this is besides the mental and emotional benefits of writing about your feelings and any problems, crises, or the joys that occur in your life.
When you keep a journal, you have the chance to sort out your thoughts and feelings about conditions, issues, and people in your life. Writing helps to clarify your ideas and get your problem-solving juices flowing. And when you look back on your journals, you can more easily see any patterns that you may have fallen into, or keep track of your progress in your goals. And most of all, you get to know the "real" you.
A journal is a great tool for self-expression and communication, and you can take it one step further, by sharing a journal with the important people in your life. Relationships of all kinds can be enhanced by a kind of mutual journal that you share with someone else. You could set up a "family journal," where everyone took time to put down their thoughts or feelings, or record memories, and then passed it on to the next person. Or you could have a "relationship journal" with a spouse or significant other, or a "friendship journal," which you share with your circle of friends.
So, why not put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) and get started on a wonderful journey of self-exploration and strengthening your relationships?

Later watched Silence of the Lambs whilst sewing up my ickle man's new school trousers lol Today I am trying to arrange delivery of 3 sets of outside patio furniture complete with parasols so that they arrive before Thursday when the Hospitality unit is being collected to goto Frome via Bristol for the open day of our new Frome Depot. I am still chasing salesmen for names for the many flights to Amsterdam that we need to go to the Rai show in October. I am also chasing our Service Department to empty the trailer of all of its contents from the last show we went to....but apparently there is a broken down bus in the way so we can't open it out properly to get in! LOL
