Journal More, Worry Less

Stress management image.

Health care professionals have long praised the benefits that keeping a journal has on one’s mental health. And it can certainly be proven that journaling or recording one’s life experiences is an aid to self-development and self-awareness, since it records information about one’s innermost feelings and ideas.

In fact, much has been written about the benefits of keeping a journal, including:

  • Journaling helps clarify goals and dreams

  • Journaling helps quiet the mind; it provides you with the ability to focus on anything you want

  • Journaling provides you with “ME” time, time alone with nothing but yourself and your thoughts

  • Journaling provides a private arena to say and feel whatever you wish

  • Journaling provides a written account of where you’ve come from and where you’re going

  • Journaling helps with stress reduction – things don’t seem to bother you as much once they are written down

  • Journaling helps provide a written account of your personal history, something to look back on

  • Journaling can be done any way you choose, daily, randomly, when the spirit moves you, whenever; there are no rules, no musts

  • Journaling helps you speak what’s in your mind and in your heart

  • Journaling is a form a self-expression

Many use the excuse, “I don’t have the time to journal!” Try it for a few minutes a day for a month. See how it makes you feel. Many people admit that they don’t know how they lived without their journals after a month’s time. It becomes a valuable resource, a pleasurable pastime, and a trusted friend to process situations and maintain our emotional balance.

Dr Bianco Asks some important questions of interest to Louisville residents - Chiropractor Louisville Dr Bianco Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most Louisville residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
