Secret # 17: Journal
Journaling is quite therapeutic, and deserves a respectable place
amongst other healthy endeavors such as exercising and eating
well. Try to take time each day to reflect using a journal.
Once you get in the habit of journaling, just like the habit of eating
right and exercising, it will become more natural. It only takes a few
minutes a day to record how you feel, and according to research, it
is time well spent.
There is increasing evidence to support the fact that journaling
has a positive impact on both physical and mental health. James
Pennebaker, a psychologist and researcher, notes that journaling
on a regular basis may strengthen immune cells, known as
T-lymphocytes.
