This year we’re supporting World Mental Health Day by educating you on the benefits that journaling can have on your mental health. In this fast-paced, digitally driven world, taking pen to paper and journaling can help improve your mental health immensely.

Below we explore the benefits journalling can have on your mental health.

  • Reduce stress levels: Stress can creep into our lives in various forms, whether that’s work pressure or personal stress. The act of writing down your worries and organising your thoughts on paper can make overwhelming problems more manageable, ultimately reducing your stress levels.
  • Manifesting gratitude and positivity: Sometimes we often forget to take a step back and appreciate the good things around us, whether you’ve just got a promotion at work, or successfully ticked off an item on your to-do lists, no item is too small to appreciate. Writing about the things that you’re thankful for can help you build a positive mindset and forget about your stresses and worries.
  • Your personal growth tracker: Using a journal to track your personal growth is a great way to track your progression. You can document your achievements and watch your motivation soar, whilst you celebrate every milestone.
  • Emotional expression: Writing in a journal provides a safe space to express your thoughts and emotions, no one has to see what you write in your own personal journal. The idea of a completely private space to write your own thoughts can be especially helpful when dealing with difficult or overwhelming feelings.
  • Improved communication: Sometimes we all struggle with communicating our feelings out loud. However, journalling can improve your communication skills by helping you clarify your thoughts and feelings. This can be especially helpful in resolving conflation and improving relationships which may be affecting your mental health.


We hope that this may inspire you to pick up a pen and journal and explore if journalling is for you. If you’re struggling with mental health issues, it's essential to seek professional help.
