Its fine to share your feelings with others but at times when nobody seems to listen your journal can be your best freind.

Gives perspective

Journaling can help you build a better perspective on life and your own self. Writing down your thoughts on certain happenings and interpreting situations free of the judgement of other people's perspectives can help you build a broader view and a stronger perspective , which are essential for building a stronger mentality.

Gain self-mastery

Journaling can clear blockages of the unconcious mind which helps reveal the identity we most try to suppress. If you focus on the roots of all reasons by which you are unexpectedly triggered in daily situations, knowing such little details about one's self can help control them when going through them. Furthermore, writing oftenly in your journal can help make you more self aware.

Makes you more organized

One of the many advantages of journaling , is making a person more organized. Scheduling your days and time blocking can help make your tasks for a given time more clearer , which to some extent can also prevent procrastination and make you less overwhelmed about upcoming tasks and events.

Store memories

Journaling helps store precious memories of the present so that you have something to look back on in the future. We never always exactly remember how we felt on a certain day or after a certain situation but looking through your past enteries can make you almost re-live that moment .
