I have started inducing the habit of writing a journal since last few days. The intention was to have me to write, because, for some reason I love to express myself in writing but was unable to do so satisfactorily since quite a few days.
The habit is taking me on a journey to discovering lot of things. I am really enjoying this habit. The first benefit that is coming to my mind is - eliminating the need to remember consciously. It is very funny but I am sure there must be many people with me in the same boat.
There are somethings that you remember when you are in the middle of something and it is difficult to keep remembering it along with the current train of thought. Either one has to die. At such times, noting any of it in the journal makes life very very very easy.
Second thing is, there are somethings in life that happen and you want to take note of it, like emotionally. Either you want to feel the emotion again or be with the emotion for a longer time. Usually, we fulfill this need by sharing the incident with others. Sometimes, this sharing is not a possibility. At times, there is no person around you and at times the person around may not be able to understand what you are trying to say. There are similar other situations where journal becomes your best friend.
I am sure there will be many uses of this habit. I hope to take this further for a longer time!
