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.

Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
