If you saw yourself through a journaler's eyes, you would see your need to journal

I was talking to someone I care for deeply.
They didn’t see the need to write or journal. There is so much already out there to read. Why would they write? Who would read it?
They don’t see what I do.
You journal for the benefits.
The benefits are hard to see unless you journal enough to experience them.
My friend doesn’t know how journaling would help them.
As a journaler, I see they need a new perspective on themselves and others. They don’t grasp what they control or don’t control.
They have pent-up anger and frustration, which often puts a negative spin on their outlook.
They told me they are afraid of their dark thoughts. They don’t understand journaling can help tame those thoughts and bring calmness to their being.
They don’t realize others see their struggles.
If only they understood how journaling gives clarity to thought. It promotes knowledge of self and encourages self-improvement.
It’s easy to say, “I don’t need to write.” But how do you know unless you have tried?
Everyone benefits from journaling. Trying journaling for 30 days, will change your mind. It won’t take much time away from your reading.
Journaling for five to ten minutes a day is enough to feel the difference.
