Keeping a journal, journaling, is increasingly popular - and it's easy to see why.
Research has shown that regularly writing down our thoughts, feelings and emotions makes us more likely to develop positive mindsets, instil a clearer understanding of ourselves, and feel happier.
The beauty of it is that there is no right or wrong way to do it. Just regularly scribbling whatever is in your head is all it takes.
You could write lists, funny moments or conversations. You could write daily gratitudes, weekly diaries, poems or stream-of-consciousness thoughts.
It really is up to you. As long as you set aside time to do it regularly and keep doing it - you can reap the rewards.
