The Mind-Changing Habit of Journaling Quotes

“When we only recycle our problems in our own mind, we won’t find a solution to them. Why? Because if there was a solution to that particular problem within us, it probably wouldn’t be a problem anymore.”

“Enhanced self-awareness: Habitually recording your thoughts and emotional states can help you recognize some behavior patterns. For example, you’ll see what questions or interactions tip you off, and what makes you feel uncomfortable, snappy, or enraged. In other words, you’ll gain more clarity on what affects you and how. Having this knowledge, you can intentionally alter and control your responses to stimuli. Your changed response will create a different – hopefully better – outcome. This is the gist of active self-management.”
