Journals for different personalities. Keeping a journal can help your mental health; however, they do not take the place of a licensed mental health professional. Journals can help you organize your thoughts as you can write about anything that happens to you. You can write about your thoughts, the events of your day, or a subject that is very important to you. In fact, you can write about anything you want. Journals can be used for personal, professional, or religious purposes. Your descendants can learn about your day by reading your journal. Many people learned about the holocaust from Anne Frank's diary. During the 2020 pandemic, many people read journals of those who lived through the 1918 pandemic. Journals don't just help you with your life, they help future generations. All that really matters is that you be you as you write in your journal. Be your authentic self!!!
