Why You Should Journal

The Journal That Talks Back

Thank you to Rosebud for sponsoring this WISER Newsletter issue.

💪 Evidence That I Overcome Challenges

Each journal is evidence of the person I am and the challenges that I have overcome.

Whenever I find myself wrestling with who I am, my self-worth or doubting what I am capable of, I revisit these pages to prove my negative thoughts wrong.

It’s not to say that I didn’t overcome challenges before I started journaling, but I didn’t record any evidence to return to when my mental health was at its worst.

Here’s a few examples of things I’ve recorded that confirm I am someone who overcomes hardship:

• Making it through 16 weeks without seeing my then-girlfriend, now-wife in person in Journals #001 - #004

• Beating the competition to secure a promotion at work in Journal #019

• Managing the turbulence of reducing my antidepressant medication until I could function without them in Journal #025

• Overcoming the stress of purchasing and decorating my first house in Journal #035

I encourage you to start recording evidence that you can overcome challenges too!

😊 BONUS REASON: Reliving Precious Moments

Journaling also enables you to relive the most cherished moments.

For example, I have immortalised the moving words that Zac’s father shared at Zac’s beautiful wedding in Journal #003.

I also have the reflections of how I felt on the day that I proposed to my wife in Journal #005.

My wedding, my first visit to my wife’s family, starting Wisdom Made Easy, the last time I saw my nan before she passed, and buying our first home together - all of these experiences and the way I felt at the time has been recorded for me to relive in the years to come!

Wouldn’t you want to revisit your favourite memories?
