Why Do You Need a Journaling Routine? 

{!firstname_fix}

Let’s answer a common question: Can’t you just journal when you feel like it? Yes, you 
absolutely can! Routines and schedules aren’t for everyone. But if you are struggling to 
really benefit from journaling because you don’t do it enough, a routine can really help 
you out. 

Today, let’s go over some of the reasons why having a journaling routine is a good idea.


You Benefit from Journaling with Consistency

While you can still get some of the journaling benefits by writing in it sporadically, the 
more consistent you are, the more advantages you will notice. Some of the 
improvements in your life happens gradually over time when you journal about your life, 
your feelings, and your goals. A journal entry here and there is probably not enough for 
any substantial change, though that is still better than not journaling at all.


It Encourages a Daily Habit

By creating an entire routine around your journal, you are creating more of a habit. In 
the beginning, you probably need to schedule it in to your day, to remind you when it is 
time to write in the journal. But before too long, it just becomes a habit, and the routine 
happens naturally. This is really what you want to achieve, as it helps it not feel so much 
like work.


Journaling Improves Your Quality of Life

Journaling in general can improve your quality of life, give you a positive mindset, and 
really help you to heal and move forward in many different facets. With a journaling 
routine, you are encouraging this benefit so much more than if you just used your 
journal every once in a while.


It Helps to Create a Healthy Daily Routine

Many people don’t just have their routine consist only of writing in a journal, but have 
other activities at the same time. By focusing on a journaling practice, you give yourself 
the perfect opportunity to think of other healthy things you can do at the same time. 
Maybe you write in your journal after meditating, or in the morning you write in your 
journal, then do yoga, followed by cooking a healthy breakfast.

Journaling is a wonderful activity any time you do it, but when you add in a regular 
routine, you start noticing so many more changes.
