Journaling; A Way To Express Yourself

Posted Apr 1, 2025 - 10:58am

by Kerri Adamic, PRC-Saltillo Ambassador 

How many of you think about a lot of good ideas, but you can't be able to express them fully? Have you ever wondered how to get your nagging feelings out of your system?  I do. Ever since I've learned how to read, write, and spell, and even before I got my first communication device, I  wrote a lot of short stories and plays, along with letters. Years later, I started keeping notebook binders of journals for years. That was when I had my old faithful electric typewriter with the key guard over the keys.    Even with the computer, I still had to print pages of my journal enteries. Some year later, my aide told me about the online journal, which is pretty awesome, because now, anyone could sign up for it., and we could write our hearts and minds out wherever we go. ...   better than yet, we can store our thoughts in our communication devices when we're out and about, for we can insert them in our journal through our blue tooth adaptors! What a better way to journal our life experiences! 

 

Like Anne Frank wrote in her diary, "A piece of paper had the patience to listen to someone , because it doesn't talk back to the person. The more I thought about it, the more ambition I have for writing. .. I know all of us have the desire to communicate with the people around us, however, it's easier for some of us to think quietly and start writing! ... I have found out I can write better with the music playing in the background.  ... To me, writing in my journal is therapeutic because I actually feel better and more free to express my thoughts and feelings . ... it is great for our families to get to know us better if they want to.  In my online journal, I have a lot of books on a variety topics, including a prayer journal, letters to the doctors, along with adventures, and my next book, rolling by faith . .... I don't write in it every day, like I should, however, I know it is always there from my finger tips . ..  a lot of people like to write, although that's why we have books to read, shows plays, and movies to enjoy ! ... there are other people who work with newspapers every day by finding interesting stories to share about our society or different parts in the world, especially during the pandemic year, when everybody knew nothing about the covid 19, nevertheless, most of us are here to tell our stories . ... what is your story? .. if you have one, then, write it down, no one will grade us, therefore, in our broken down bodies, Each one of us can write whatever we want. 

 

I looked up on the internet about how important journaling was. ...here is what it said . ... i quoted , @it provides a safe space to process emotions , allowing you to understand and manage your feelings , which wrong can lead to reduce stress, improved self-awareness, better problem-solving skills, and even boosted memory by activities reflecting on your experiences and thoughts. .. unquote.  .  I believe this statement is very true for everyone to be able to release the stress, especially when we can't speak freely , although we can express ourselves through our writing abilities. I hope you've learned something new about starting some kind of journal writing. ... who knows, you may feel better about your situations ! ... I do, believe me. ... after I recovered from my injuries  from last March, I couldn't wait when I had enough strength to go back to my journal, just to write something once a day or a week.....  thank you for listening to me.
