The Unexpected Benefits Of Journaling To Keep You Happy And Grounded

Time To Break Out That ‘My Little Pony’ Diary And Get To Work ;)

When I was going through BUD/S, I remember a couple guys telling me they journaled about their day.

I thought to myself, “that’s a great idea, but ain’t nobody got time for that!”

The excuse I told myself was, “Eh, I’ll just remember it [whatever the event was].” My 23-year-old mind wasn’t aware of this thing called Time, which is where fond memories go to die.

I wish I did journal back then, but the best I can do is journal now because the way I see it, journaling doesn’t just benefit me. It benefits my kids.
