A friend recently said "I don't know much about journaling". How does it help in recovery? Many people in recovery run the same thoughts through their head over and over again attempting to figure out how to change their behavior. They keep getting the same answers they've always gotten. Journaling helps to get those repeated thoughts out of your head and down on paper where you can see them. This releases the thoughts so you can come back to them later. What often happens is there is now room to allow new information in to consider. While this is happening, new options are made known to you to recover your soul and re-create your life.
This is just one of the many benefits of journaling. I will continue to offer more ideas as this blog develops. Please feel free to send in your recovery related questions and comments related to child abuse, addictions, family violence, and other recovery areas.
Peaceful day,
